talking to humans about the end of the world.
Synopsis
talking to humans about the end of the world. is a meditative observation of life unfolding over one (hot) summer on Epekwitk/Prince Edward Island, through the gaze of the director, Millefiore Clarkes. As global crises intersect, dovetail, and cascade on the horizon, creating a throbbing hum of anxiety and embodied discomfort, the humans on one small island cradled in the Atlantic Ocean, pursue the habits and necessities of daily life in a late-stage-capitalist milieu.
