Hello Susan,

My name is Tamara Louks and I am a volunteer with the Grand River Film Festival. Kate Pearce at WGSI shared your contact info with me so I hope you don’t mind my reaching out to you today to share a film event I believe would be of interest. 

 

On Thursday, October 11, 7:30pm, GRFF’s CineSeries program, part of the TIFF Film Circuit, is screening the film ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch. The third collaboration between award-winning photographer Edward Burtynsky and acclaimed filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier continues their exploration of industrialization and extraction in astonishing scale and perspective. Spanning numerous countries, the film reveals in stunning images how our mania for conquest defines our relationship to the Earth — and how we have created a global epidemic. In Kenya, mounds of elephant tusks burn in a devastating display of the impact of poaching (chillingly reminiscent of the bison skulls that were piled high in the clearing of the Canadian plains for settlement). In Russia and Germany, mining operations transform terrains into otherworldly industrial wastelands as hypnotic, colossal, lifelike machines endlessly extract on an unfathomable scale. ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a mesmerizing and disturbing rumination on what drives us as a species, and a call to wake up to the destruction caused by our dominance.

 

We would be grateful to have you share this information within your network or through your social media platforms. This film recently opened to rave reviews at TIFF and we are very excited to bring it to our community. Following are event details and a potential post you could utilize if interested.
