Spanning numerous countries, the film reveals in stunning images how our mania for conquest defines our relationship to the Earth — and how we have created a global epidemic. In Kenya, mounds of elephant tusks burn in a devastating display of the impact of poaching (chillingly reminiscent of the bison skulls that were piled high in the clearing of the Canadian plains for settlement). In Russia and Germany, mining operations transform terrains into otherworldly industrial wastelands as hypnotic, colossal, lifelike machines endlessly extract on an unfathomable scale. ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a mesmerizing and disturbing rumination on what drives us as a species, and a call to wake up to the destruction caused by our dominance.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.tiff.net/films/anthropocene/">https://www.tiff.net/films/anthropocene/</a> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#70AD47'>The Anthropocene – special exhibit<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>On till Jan 6th, 2019</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>AGO - Art Gallery of Ontario, Dundas and McCaul</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>A major new contemporary art exhibition that tells the story of human impact on the Earth through film, photography, and new experiential technologies.
