About the film:
“That civilisations fall, sooner or later, is as much a law of history as gravity is a law of physics. What remains after the fall is a wild mixture of cultural debris, confused and angry people whose certainties have betrayed them, and those forces which were always there, deeper than the foundations of the city walls: the desire to survive and the desire for meaning.” (Uncivilisation - The Dark Mountain Manifesto by Dougald Hine and Paul Kingsnorth, 2009)
‘Uncivilisation’ is a manifesto for writers, artists and storytellers – and for all of us, living through the end of the world as we know it.
With this one-hour one-shot film, the Münster-based collectives „MNEME kollektiv“ (dance) and „EAT THE FROG Kollektiv“ (music) share their take on the manifesto, in collaboration with independent nomadic filmmaker Vincent Moon.
Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Münster.
