As we confront unprecedented ecological challenges, the art of moving images plays a crucial role in fostering a more informed and motivated global community.
RPM Festival, Art Department of UMass-Boston, and Goethe Institut Boston co-present a compelling two-part artistic film series focused on water and climate. In an era marked by climate change, these experimental short films offer a unique perspective for addressing our environmental crisis. Rather than merely depicting the harsh realities of environmental degradation, this series engages audiences on an emotional level, presenting both the urgent need for action and the hopeful possibilities for a sustainable future.
Through this innovative artistic approach, these films aim to inspire and catalyze meaningful change.
This program is part of the annual Revolution Per Minute festival, which showcases short experimental films and video artworks. The festival runs from September 27 to October 1 and features 80 carefully selected films from over 500 submissions. This year marks the festival’s fifth anniversary in Boston and tenth since its inception. It is dedicated to short-lived poetic, personal and cinematographic works in the fields of experimentation, essay film, animation, documentary, video and audiovisual performance.
