Dust Devil

SINOPSIS

The desert is often mobilised in science fiction films to simulate worlds ravaged by resource depletion and climate change or outer worlds hostile to life. A visual filter applied to the landscape intensifies the conventional perception of the desert, accentuates that technological representation of nature and nature itself are inseparable from man-made transformation. Ghostly entanglement of deep time, unsettling present and imagined future haunt the landscape, the film unfolds into a bizarre interplanetary journey that oscillates between documentary and climate fiction, nature and artificial, life and non-life.
