Anthropocide

Anthropocide, (literally ‘Humanity killing itself’) is a short abstract film that proceeds from the premise that consumer capitalism, exemplified by ubiquitous commodification, necessarily conditions society to indulge in Hedonism, the consequence of which will be the destruction of the environment upon which we depend for life and the subsequent demise of the human race.
The film contrasts metaphors of environment and generative cycles with metaphors of unfettered human interference, technology and commodification. With a veritable smorgasbord of visual imagery supported by an eclectic soundscape, Anthropocide aims to awaken the viewer’s rational sensibility, to acknowledge the true nature of the problem we face.
