Eco-apocalyptic Cinema - 2015.


23

The truth of the anthropocene is cosmophagy, that is to say the destruction of non-human dimensions. Eco-apocalyptic cinema renders this situation 1) in prophesizing an anthropophagic horizon (a short circuit of humankind); 2) in trying, sometimes, to reveal outsides, an otherness able to block the cosmophagic machine.
