Homo Sapiens, directed by documentarian Nikolaus Geyrhalter (Our Daily Bread), is a film about the finiteness and fragility of human existence and the end of the industrial age. Powerful images of empty spaces, ruins, cities increasingly overgrown with vegetation and crumbling asphalt: the areas we currently inhabit, though humanity has disappeared. Now abandoned and decaying, gradually reclaimed by nature after being taken from it so long ago. Homo Sapiens is an ode to humanity as seen from a possible future scenario.

Homo Sapiens has screened at festivals around the world, including Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Zagreb, München, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Basel, Curitiba, Edinburgh & Karlovy Vary.

Please note, there will be no trailers for this film. The film will start promptly at 5pm, doors open at 4.30pm.

Presented by Misc. Films, a UK-based programming collective dedicated to showcasing unreleased and under-screened films.
