HOMO SAPIENS

2016, Austria, 94'

Nikolaus Geyrhalter

TRIBUTE TO NIKOLAUS GEYRHALTER GUEST DIRECTOR

In the twilight of the industrial age a film about the finiteness and fragility of existence: about what it means, even in confrontation with Nature and Time, to be Human.

What will be left of our lives after we are gone? Empty spaces, ruins, cities gradually overrun by vegetation, crumbling asphalt: the places we inhabit today but from which humanity has disappeared. Places now abandoned and dilapidated, which nature gradually reclaims after they were taken from her so long ago. An ode to humanity observed from a possible future scenario.
