SUMMARY:COSMOGRAPHIES : A speculative documentary film
DESCRIPTION:The struggle for environmental justice against ongoing forms of extractivism and ecological ruin in the Atacama Desert is an allegory against ongoing plans to colonise the Moon and Mars\, where Māori astrobiologist Xuê Noon finds solace in 2051. \nCosmographies is a hybrid film that draws from speculative fiction\, observational and poetic documentary\, Indigenous futurism and Indigiqueer perspectives. It interweaves stories of resistance and environmental justice against extractivism in the Atacama Desert\, Chile\, as an allegory for contemporary plans to colonise the Moon and Mars. Set across 2023 and 2051\, it weaves parallel stories of Lickan Antay land and water defenders\, engaged scientists and fishing communities in Atacama\, with the story of Māori astrobiologist Xuě Noon who finds solace in Mars and slipstreams across spacetime with an urgent message. \nScreening at Belgrave as part of How to weather together exhibition\nFilm is 95 minutes\nQ&A is 30 minutes. Finish by 5.15pm. \nCredits \nDirector\, Cinematographer & Writer (BIO): Juan Francisco Salazar (attending the screening for Q&A) \nWriter & Performer (BIO): Victoria Hunt \n\n \n
