Planetary Thermodynamics : Energy Justice

director: Michal Mitro

original title: Planetary Thermodynamics : Energy Justice

country: Czech Republic

year: 2020

running time: 18 min.

synopsis

Blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, this recent work by Michal Mitro presents a new semblance of our future world in which energy, as a universal and indestructible force, determines the order of global activities and relationships. The film is a reflection on what a post-capitalist society can look like when energy justice prevails and when both human and extra-human factors are involved.

“The visual language of this work juxtaposes the workings of society where energy justice has been established through speculative archaeological research conducted in a contemporary communal garden from the viewpoint of future's utopia.”
