Planet A

SETO Momoko 2008 France color 8min DCP
Salt crystals consume the world, turning it into an alien desert. Inspired by the desertification of the Aral Sea, Planet A uses macro and time-lapse imagery to animate a crystalline microcosm. Without voiceover or narration, the film presents both a sci-fi fable and an ecological warning.
