the unforseen
the unforseen
The Unforeseen evokes the point-of-view of a divine being observing our species' modern history and mourning what they've borne witness to. The development of Barton Springs in Austin, Texas is an undertaking of great economic potential, but it is one quickly impeded upon when Mother Earth responds to the tumorous presence of these entrepreneurs. Employing a dreamlike tone and lush, organic textures, the film suggests An Inconvenient Truth meets The New World (Terrence Malick serves as executive producer here and his presence is tangibly felt), and it is through this hypnotic interweaving of sight and sound that the film's warnings against the excessive pillaging of our natural world take on a profound, spiritual resonance.  Rob Humanick
