ANTHROPOCENE: THE HUMAN EPOCH November 15 November 21, dir. Edward Burtynsky / Jennifer Baichwal / Nick de Pencier, Documentary, Not Rated, Canada, English /German / Russian / Italian, 2019, 87 min. After nearly 10 years of research, the Anthropocene Working Group, an international body of scientists, argue that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century as a result of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany, to psychedelic potash mines in Russias Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and massive marble quarries in Carrara, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using state of the art camera techniques to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination. At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene witnesses a critical moment in geological history bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species's breadth and impact.
