Liminal is a meditative film that uses drone footage to show how Indiana is a microcosm of the Anthropocene, a new geological period on Earth. The film explores the relationship between humans and the Earth, especially how human activities are altering conditions on the planet. Natural beauty is highlighted during the film but also the consequences of human actions, such as pollution and land-use change, thus visualizing the complex reality of the Anthropocene for Indiana.
Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with film director Zach Schrank, associate professor of biology at Indiana University South Bend and Jennifer Tank, professor of biology at the University of Notre Dame.
