Long Now is honored to host the San Francisco premiere of ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch on Sunday, September 29, 02019 at 1:30pm at the historic Castro Theatre. This special Sunday afternoon Seminar will feature the film screening, followed by a Q&A with Stewart Brand and all 3 filmmakers.
A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a documentary film from Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. The film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group, who after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.
ANTHROPOCENE is the third and final full-length documentary film of the The Anthropocene Project, a multidisciplinary body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, scientific research and educational programs, seeks to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.
Watermark and Manufactured Landscapes, the other 2 films in this Anthropocene trilogy, will show the same day at 5:30pm and 9:00pm at the Castro Theater, with separate tickets required for each screening. Tickets to see the 2 additional films need to be purchased in person at the theater box office (open from noon to 9:30pm) on the day of the event.
Tickets to the premiere of ANTHROPOCENE may be purchased here.
