"Stunning,” “Ravishing, “Sobering”… the usual positive-film-review adjectives have been deployed about “Anthropocene: The Human Epoch,” but the movie is even better and more important than that. Its combination of intimate detail and massive scale—within the same imagery—conveys viscerally the full scope of human activity as a planetary force.
The Long Now Foundation has been involved with this project from its start four years ago, and so we are proud to be part of its launch. Following the premiere showing at the Castro on September 29, I’ll be on the stage for Q & A with the filmmakers--- Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, and our old friend Edward Burtynsky. "Anthropocene: The Human Epoch <http://longnow.org/seminars/02019/sep/29/anthropocene-human-epoch/>" screening with filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, and Edward Burtynsky at The Castro Theater, San Francisco, 1:30pm, Sunday, September 29.
