Awards

Anthropocene MuSe Award

Ed. 2025

The film approaches the subject of the Anthropocene from a different perspective. Full of humour and melancholy, it reflects on our relationship with nature through rocks and minerals, a world we consider to be an inert substratum and nothing more, and which is instead shown to be alive, dynamic and inextricably linked to our existence. A film that is in its turn stratified and complex: the diary of a quest, an existential investigation and a reflection at global level.
