The idea of Anthropocene is far from celebratory; over the past century, human impact on the planet has transformed it beyond belief, perhaps, beyond reversal. Today the earth’s climate and resources, the life of multiple species, and the very right to live itself, are at stake. The Anthropocene section of our program is about reflection, responsibility and change. These films demonstrate that the challenges are complex and multiple, and too often driven by commercial interests and private profits—in the global food industry and agriculture (Soyalism, Sheep Farm), in construction and housing policies (Breathless, Push), and in mining, logging, and other extractive practices (Earth, Timbo). But responsible action, collaborative attitudes, and innovative ways of using human and natural resources can also lead to change (Fair Traders, When Tomatoes Met Wagner). We hope these screenings will launch discussions that will address individual responsibility, consumer and industrial best practices, and questions about long-term impact and sustainability.
