SUMMARY:ReelTALK: FILM CLASS Stories and Their Humans: Tales of an Anthropocenic World
DESCRIPTION:As scientists (and politicians) debate the veracity of the Anthropocene\, an age of human centered activity that\, if declared a new epoch\, will forever alter the chemical composition of the rocks and fossils beneath our feet\, the climate changes\, animals disappear\, and shorelines advance. Regardless of nomenclature\, the planet is shifting. Smart money says it’s the humans with their cars and coal mines. \nThe films of this series present vivid\, imaginative\, nature centered imagery to explore a human centered world that is harrowing\, but also surprising; Maybe just maybe even hopeful…. \nJUNE 18\nWILDING (David Allen\, 2023; 75 min)\n“We can save our world if we want to” is not just a platitude in WILDING (David Allen\, 2024). The film documents the true transformation of an English country estate allowed to run wild\, entrusting the farmland’s future to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. The “avant garden” conservation project is no less than miraculous\, returning fauna and flora to a land once drenched in chemicals and sadness. \nJULY 9\nFLOW (Gints Zilbalodis\, 2024; 85 min)\nA wondrous journey through realms natural and mystical\, FLOW follows a courageous cat who teams up with a capybara\, a lemur\, and a dutiful Labrador retriever to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. The Academy Award winning film is a thrilling animated spectacle and a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. \nAUGUST 13\nSOYLENT GREEN (Richard Fleischer\, 1973; 97 min)\nSOYLENT GREEN portrays a crumbling world beset with dying oceans\, year-round humidity\, and worldwide shortages of food\, water\, and housing. In New York City’s population of 40 million\, only the elite can afford spacious apartments\, clean water\, and natural food in walled-off communities patrolled by armed guards. Released in 1973 and set fifty-three years in the future in 2022\, what was once science fiction is now documentary. In one of his most memorable performances\, Charlton Heston plays an NYPD detective tasked with investigating the murder of a wealthy and influential board member of the Soylent Corporation. Riveting and also campy\, SOYLENT GREEN is an iconic sci-fi classic.
