The People of Uncivilisation
A short film I made about the people at the Dark Mountain Festival in May 2010, why they went and what they do in "normal" life. The festival was "...a training camp for the unknown world ahead, a festival of music and writing, thinking and doing, a chance to meet people whose ideas and stories and ways of looking at the world which can help us navigate what is likely to be a challenging and unpredictable future."
The Dark Mountain Project describes itself as "...a growing global movement of writers, artists, craftspeople and workers with practical skills who have stopped believing in the stories our civilisation tells itself. We believe we are entering an age of material decline, ecological collapse and social and political uncertainty, and that our cultural responses should reflect this, rather than denying it."
The video features the landless peasant (last seen behind Gordon Brown at his constituency speech during the general election 2010) and Julian Burton of Delta7 painting the bigger picture as well as Alistar McIntosh, an independent scholar, activist, and renowned writer of the book "Soil and Soul".
