One night only!

Through a ninety-minute progression of exquisitely composed, long-take camera set-ups, Nikolaus Geyrhalter’s Homo Sapiens takes us on a global tour of the post-human landscape. In location after location, we bare witness to a set of uncanny and strangely beautiful abandoned structures, which are beginning to fall into ruin. This wordless—and indeed human-less—experimental documentary by the rising Geyrhalter (Our Daily Bread) provides the spectator with much space for speculation, with reason to contemplate whether these places will disappear into the natural landscape or if instead they represent the scarred future of our planet. Homo Sapiens premiered at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival, and represents one of the year’s most remarkable cinematic experiences.
