As part of the Dreamlands film series, Eric Leiser’s film screens in Death Is Green, a program of films that explore the arc of the natural world’s evolution from the primeval environment to the Anthropocene. Animated Hollywood dinosaurs, fossil traders and scientists try to reconstruct the plot of natural history. Black ice and storms threaten imminent collapse. Film buried then excavated from a landfill, images created from decomposition, and abandoned technologies turn dig sites into crime scenes.

This screening takes place on January 22, 2017. Learn more.
