SAPIENS - The dystopia after climate change. Award-winning SciFi short film
Фильм және анимация
In a cinematic dystopia, the short film "Sapiens" outlines the consequences of our destructive actions. After the fictional activation of all global tipping points, decades of hunger and monoculture, human failure escalates into climate wars. The remaining humans retreated to deeper and cooler layers of the earth. There, a severely impaired human rises in the form of a new advanced civilization. Although humans changed greatly, they did not adapt their behavior and in this dystopia, just as in their past, they exploit nature in a cruel and industrialized way. In a critical examination of our self-image and our resource extraction on earth, the film aims to set an impulse for the protection of our ecosystems. To achieve this, the film plays with a partly provocative portrayal of industrialized slaughter as well as a nostalgia for nature. The production of the film included the writing of the plot, an intensive research on the responsibility of humans in the climate struggle, the character design and costume design, the making of storyboards and set designs, the shooting as well as the postproduction.
The film production wouldn't have been possible without the incredible help of many people, first of all my family: Johannes Klösel operating the drone like a master, Julia Rothfuß with a hughe creative support, Phillip Klösel with a awesome camera work and Siegmar Klösel with superb artisanry skills. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Further credits must be dropped for the guys behind these amazing scores.

A fabulous work, hoping that many will become aware by watching it.. the exploitation and destruction of Nature, of the planet leads us to our own destruction too... unfortunately it seems that we are on this way... A powerful message! Big bravo to the whole team!

There was an undercurrent of both hope and despair in this short-film, the hope that comes from knowing how adaptable and clever mankind can be and the despair of realizing that the prolongation of life simply leads us deeper and deeper into Hell.

This, I don't believe will be our future. Climate change will happen and humans may disappear, but nature will survive. Maybe take different forms, but will survive. Unless we destroy natures ability to survive. Plucking that one flower wouldn't stop nature. We're plucking a lot more than one flower. We may be beyond the tipping point. It may now be adapt or perish. We will adapt. But what will life be? Very well done short film.

It seems those who are already sensitive to these things are already aware. Those who don’t value the reality of the impact humans are making don’t care, or they play it down. After all, humans believe they are the crown of creation, and everything that they do sanctified by some divine intelligence.

Making man responsible for the climate also puts humans at the crown of creation. The fact is we are a part of nature and control only ourselves. Does not the climate change from season to season due to the sun?

Very fitting film for the times we live in. Excellent job showing the harshest juxtaposition of then and now! Beautiful, impactful, and morose! When they picked the flower, I knew the dream would be over.. it all starts with the first killing of nature, and the sapien just naturally reached down and plucked it. Bravo!

It makes sense that the billionaires would want people to discuss anything but them. I suppose the same goes for talking about the environment as the main issue that human kind is struggling with, when we are nowhere near destroying the world due to our actions, but they do not want human kind to focus on evil as human kinds biggest problem. It increases, it decreases, it brings down nations and civilizations, but if you were to focus on that, then you would realize how under informed you are. Many would rather you focus on the nonsensical, while trying to defeat the effects of evil on human kind. In G-d I trust.
Absolutely stunning, the story as well as images and sound. No dialogue needed. Bravo! 👍 (says I, a Danish sci-fi writer)

Well done... In the 50's and 60's and beyond I was the kid who loved reading scifi, many stories written about someone special, or a group of talented people figuring out a way to save mankind from annihilation due to war, natural disasters or aliens, etc, etc. Always someone waiting in the wings to save humans from their inherent terrible selfish selves. Even when aliens were threatening the planet, or nukes were about to fly, the "good guys" had to convince the leaders of the threat, and then of the solution...or take matters into their own hands. And don't forget, I lived every day with a threat of nuclear missiles on the evening "NEWS!!!"... It's no wonder that I was attracted to wanting to read stories where someone comes along and saves mankind. Now, it's not hard to see that planet earth is going crazy and nobody is coming to save the day. Now, many of these scifi shorts are like this one. No saviors, no hero's, and no way out. It's like people are being told that they might as well give up because you are doomed to certain destruction for one or more reason. In this film, you are shown how you will also go from an unbelievable paradise to the worst hell you can imagine if you so much as pick a flower... One little slip up, and paradise is gone with no way back. So sad...and such a lie. Yes, the world as we know it will be coming to an end soon, after a lot of hardships like the world has never before seen, but there IS a way to escape what is coming. All you need to do is ask Jesus to save you from it. He was the real Savior that has already came and promised that anyone who believes in Him WILL be saved. Those that do will be going to a paradise more beautiful than anything that can be imagined or put in a film, and no matter what happens, you can't lose that, and it's for eternity...

Well its true there is no one who will come along to save the day, that lies in the hands of the Majority correcting their error in thinking, and that happens with increased suffering which our corrupt Representatives successfully do everyday with their futile manipulations trying to reverse the Crash and Burn of our Modern Governments. It is they who are dying, not us

This is absolutely brilliant in a dystopian way, that those of us who see the dystopia unfolding grasp. I'm grateful for the artist who dedicate their time to such art. I'm working on a blog post in which I'll embed this piece of genius. When it's done, I'll post it below and share the love/grief.

Hey Moses, thanks for your Feedback & for taking the time to watch it!
Well crafted dystopian nightmare scenario that is well worth seeing. While my wife & I were watching it, I immediately understood the ice cracking and its implications for what was to come. My wife thought that Elysium was a stupid neo eco liberal utopian escapist fantasy and wanted to walk away. I said "just wait a minute. It's not what you think." I hope more people will watch this video and discuss it. Let's not wait to worship trees and plants until the Amazon is destroyed and the Earth turns implaccably hostile to human life. The Ecosphere is sacred, as the aboriginal peoples knew quite well. It is the only living zone for light years in any direction, and if we damage or destroy it, we will have Hell to pay...

@@lukaskloesel Unfortunately we are on track for 2.5C of global warming, and the only thing so far that momentarily slowed greenhouse gas omissions was the Covid pandemic. So, hopefully it won't get as bad as your dystopia, but it is going to get very challenging. Rich people already know this and they are quietly buying up farmland & water rights. The masses seem almost clueless and will likely get blindsided by what is sure to come. Since science cannot reach them, maybe you creative artists can shake them awake and get them to change.
