19:00-21:30 ::: HOLD 4: SpaceKraft Kino: FEATURE [Film Screenings] - Wednesday ticket or all days festival pass
The SpaceKraft Kino programme closes with a documentary about one of the most high-stakes and ambitious projects ever to emerge from the counterculture: the replica closed ecosystem of Biosphere 2. The story starts with a theatre ship, explores the complex realities of collaborative utopian ventures with a wider world, and concludes with the appearance of Steve Bannon, as the capitalist saviour / ‘monetiser’ of the ragged remains of the project.
Spaceship Earth Biosphere 2 (114) Directed by Matt Wolf
Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially reimagine a new world.
