The Olaf Stapledon sci-fi novel chronicling two billion years of mankind's evolution inspired this avant-garde opus directed and scored by Icelandic electronic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. Combining narration of Stapledon's prose by Tilda Swinton with vistas of brutalist design World War II monuments found across the former Yugolavia, the final result is a remarkable and sobering aural and visual spectacle. 71 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
