UNCIVILISATION - The dark mountain manifesto
Artistic Film by Vincent Moon, MNEME kollektiv and Eat The Frog
“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.
