Abramorama, Vimeo and SHFT.com have partnered to distribute PLANETARY, a Planetary Collective in association with Reconsider film. The filmmakers will present the film globally day-and-date theatrically and on Vimeo On Demand on Earth Day, April 22, 2015. PLANETARY, a crosscontinental cinematic journey and film-going experience like no other, will make its World Premiere next week at the SXSW Film Festival in the Vimeo Theater (March 17, 2015).
A provocative and breathtaking wakeup call, PLANETARY is a poetic and humbling reminder that it's time to shift our perspective. The film asks us to rethink who we really are, to reconsider our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us - to remember that: we are PLANETARY.
In a stunning visual exploration, the film interweaves imagery from NASA Apollo missions with visions of the Milky Way, Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas, and the cacophonous sounds of downtown Tokyo and Manhattan, with intimate interviews from renowned experts including astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison (the first African American woman in space), celebrated environmentalist Bill McKibben, National Book Award winner Barry Lopez, anthropologist Wade Davis, to National Geographic Explorer Elizabeth Lindsey, and Head of the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu school, the 17th Karmapa. They shed new light on the ways our worldview is profoundly affecting life on our planet.
