Monday, June 28, 2021 @ 23:00
Year: 2020 Genre: Short documentary Director: Romain Pennes Synopsis: A short fi lm created, edited and composed in 2020 by the French composer Romain Pennes. It features video footage by talented photographers, videographers and activists from all around the globe.
“One Earth” is an environmental short film of just a few minutes that raises awareness on the environmental issues regarding the beautiful home that is our planet. With just pictures and music, without any dialogue or voiceover, the film tells the sad story of how humans are destroying the very conditions of life on Earth. It invites us to fi gure out the gravity of the situation for ourselves and, hopefully, gives us a reason to change and fight back while there is still time.
