How I Fell

Synopsis

A hilarious mockumentary on the influencer culture and a tool-kit to survive this green-capitalist world. Through mixed-media and satire, the film mimics the awareness-raising campaigns asking you to buy products that keep changing names and moods. Experts and survivors testify to the dangers, but also to the glimmers of hope.

From the filmmaker

I made this film for three main reasons. First, I love our planet and I’m worried about it. Second, I believe film can make a difference, that cinema can actually shake things up. And finally, what I want to challenge is our tendency to think we can save the planet by endlessly inventing new products, new machines, and new technologies. To me, that’s wishful thinking. That’s what I want to explore in the film, but with a mocking, ironic tone in the style of a mockumentary.
