In the Land of Drought

This film serves as a condensed version of Rosefeldt’s interpretation of Joseph Haydn’s "The Creation." It presents a thought-provoking narrative set in a future reflecting on the consequences of human activity on Earth. The piece features an army of scientists who investigate the remnants of civilization after humanity's extinction, offering a visual commentary on the post-Anthropocene era.

Shot entirely with drone technology, the film captures desolate landscapes and abandoned film sets near the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. The use of drones adds a layer of surveillance, providing a bird’s eye view that distances viewers from the human experience, emphasizing the film's themes of observation and detachment. This approach enhances the meditative quality of the imagery, making it a compelling work for those interested in the intersection of art and environmental commentary.
