Color Version -
I created a visual commentary on our current situation on restoring the ecological damages that production has caused, in a form of a collage. Most sci-fi films set in the future are either set in space or another planet hinting and maybe commenting on how Earth, in its whole, is a depleting resource. Some movies have even gone so far as depicting Earth in the future as a 'dead planet'.
My commentary and reaction was influenced by this lovely article, and how the Obama administration plans to halt off-shore drilling in the Eastern Gulf. Considering that my commentary is set in a dystopia, where a totalitarian government is in charge, the government has allowed no limitations to off-shore drilling and oil drilling in general which has caused the planet Earth to deplete enormously.
"Space is the place"
For my senior thesis I am interested in understanding the present and current events through the use of science fiction film genre
