TERRA CENE
I recently watched TERRA CENE, a short experimental film directed by Rodrigo Inada and NONO (Nono Ayuso). It’s a fascinating dive into the Golden Record, a time-capsule that was sent into space in 1977, carrying images and archives of planet Earth for alien life to potentially encounter. Of course, it also carries evidence of a healthier planet, now just a memory floating further away from us. Unlike some recent climate change satire that feels the need to beat you over the head with on-the-nose caricature, this short is meditative and powerful enough to make us realize the urgency of our immediate actions to stop our planet from dying—without feeling heavy handed.
