Earth: the dreary backdrop for countless science fiction stories about future civilizations surviving through destruction, with no place left to go. On present-day Earth, humans are already struggling with the alarming effects of a warming climate. Increasing floods, hurricanes and fires are all too common and signs that worse is yet to come. This program’s films are documents of the Earth at its current stage mixed with dystopian speculations on the future. Moving through green spaces, caves and mountains, they remind us of the fragile rock that houses us, and that we must tend to in order to avoid catastrophic consequences.
