REEL TALK: FILM CLASS - WILDING
Stories and Their Humans: Tales of an Anthropocenic World
As scientists (and politicians) debate the veracity of the Anthropocene, an age of human centered activity that, if declared a new epoch, will forever alter the chemical composition of the rocks and fossils beneath our feet, the climate changes, animals disappear, and shorelines advance. Regardless of nomenclature, the planet is shifting. Smart money says it’s the humans with their cars and coal mines.
The films of this series present vivid, imaginative, nature centered imagery to explore a human centered world that is harrowing, but also surprising; Maybe just maybe even hopeful....
“We can save our world if we want to” is not just a platitude in WILDING (David Allen, 2024). The film documents the true transformation of an English country estate allowed to run wild, entrusting the farmland’s future to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. The “avant garden” conservation project is no less than miraculous, returning fauna and flora to a land once drenched in chemicals and sadness.
