The Anthropocene - Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Zurich, 3 October 2017 - International scientists are deciding whether to declare a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene – a planet shaped more by mankind than nature. Join us for a screening of the award winning movie "The Anthropocene" and a panel discussion with experts.
A Working Group of international scientists is deciding whether to declare a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene – a planet shaped more by mankind than nature. Its members tell the story of the Anthropocene and argue whether it’s a tragedy, a comedy, or something more surreal in an award winning movie by director Steve Bradshaw ( learn more: externe Seite "The Anthropocene"). Part of the movie was filmed at ETH Zurich with Dr. Monica Berger Gonzales De White, a former ETH Zurich scientist and expert on the topic. Join us for a free screening of the movie and a subsequent panel discussion providing views from different disciplines.
