APOCALYPSE BABY -we advertise the end of the world
Dir. Camille Tricaud and Franziska Unger, 2020
Synopsis
„Apocalypse Baby, we advertise the end of the world“ is a Teleshopping Show in the year 2050. The Moderators Camille Cool and Franzi Star present the new products that will help humankind to survive the climate apocalypse. A film about consumerism and climate crises, but also about privileges: „if we really have to adapt ourselves to the climate crises, who can really afford it?“
“A great many of us engage in this kind of climate change denial. We look for a split second and then we look away. Or we look but then turn it into a joke (“more signs of the Apocalypse!”). Which is another way of looking away.”
Naomi Klein (This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, 2014)

Synopsis
Apocalypse Airlines is a „fake“ commercial spot for a fictive airline, that confronts us with our own contadictions. Everyone wants to travel, discover the world, feel free, consume, … although we all know the environmental consequences of air travel.
