Last Things examines evolution and extinction from the perspective of the rocks and minerals that came before humanity and will outlast us. With scientists and thinkers like Lynn Margulis and Marcia Bjørnerud as guides and quoting from the proto-sci-fi texts of J.H. Rosny, director Deborah Stratman offers a stunning array of images, from microscopic forms to vast landscapes and seeks a picture of evolution without humans at the center.
Before the 50-minute film, we will screen two shorts by Stratman: Laika (2021) and It Will Die Out in the Mind (2006).
