Hungry

After mankind’s extinction, aliens arrive on Earth trying to understand the cause of this disaster by listening to specialists who had warned about the consequences of ruthlessly uncontrolled development. A documentary poem of great urgency as well as overwhelming beauty.

The woods are there, as is the soil, the sands – everything, only we are missing. Which is a very realistic vision of the future we’re headed for the way industrial society is abusing this planet’s existence. Hungry commences after the human beings are gone, with outside forces exploring the state of Earth, registering its barrenness while listening to recordings by people who understood the situation and offered suggestions for how to prevent this – and save mankind.

The images are real, and majestic in their frightening emptiness. The voices belong to researchers, activists, politicians and more, some of whom we know well – a mass of information these alien entities try to structure, turn into a narrative; let no one say we didn’t know and had no idea about how to confront our extinction. 

Hungry is thus two things at the same time: an audiovisual experience of singular power, overwhelming at times with its gloriously radiant sights while profoundly educational thanks to the wealth of information provided.
