- Short film Realms is a voyage through time, evolution and the kingdoms of life towards the natural destruction wrought upon the planet by the human species. As Ovid writes in Metamorphoses, everything changes but nothing perishes (Omnia mutantur, nihil interit). Things change shape, energy becomes matter and matter becomes energy. Realms is a film about this constant metamorphosis, a succession of states, epochs, species, kingdoms and realms, a journey through past and future strata, organic and inorganic phases and spheres of our planet. The story unfolds on a remote fisherman's farm, where we begin our journey hundreds of millions of years ago in the depths of the primeval ocean. We reach the shore, make our way through to the farm-yard, through the house to the garden in the rear and onwards to the nearby forest, followed by a swidden, a rocky ridge and the sand dunes beyond. Finally, millions of years into the post-human future, we stand on the shore again, animate and inanimate nature levelled to black dust, gazing towards the stars of the Milky Way. And so the cycle begins again. All that time, we have stayed within the perimeter of the farm and seen versions of how the same landscape has appeared at different times - how it was before humans and how it will look after we are long gone. Though our own era is just a blink in the eye of the long continuum of epochs, this blind moment with its reliance on energy provided by fossil fuels and the wholesale exploitation of nature threatens the future of the entire planet.
