DARK SKY LAND | NIGHT SKY ECOLOGY

THE STORY

AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE INTO THE COSMOS AND THE NATURAL WORLD

DARK SKY LAND, is a Film (in progress) as well as a multidisciplinary project about a Night Sky conservation movement. The story takes place in a New Mexico high desert landscape of natural darkness, with an insightful look at the fear of darkness and the hidden impact of light pollution’s existential threat to astronomy, wildlife, human health, the future of life on earth, cultural heritage, and biodiversity. It tells the story of how looking into the Cosmos is inexorably being interrupted by light pollution. An interstellar archive of night sky ecology, human and wildlife preservation in an era of planetary transformation.
