RED EARTH (feature film; 64:00; USA) Red Earth imagines a world in the late Anthropocene, where large parts of Earth have become inhospitable to life. The story follows a single family across three generations, from the initial colonists to settle on Mars to the first expedition to return to an Earth decimated by interplanetary war. Red Earth utilizes a hybrid non-fiction/epistolary framework to recount the experiences of Kasei Harriot—the last woman on Mars to be born on Earth.

The Baffin Bay Deglacial Experiment
The National Science Foundation-funded short documentary The Baffin Bay Deglacial Experiment will be presented at GeoCinema, a showcase of films that explore geoscience during the annual EGU General Assembly (EGU24), being held April 14-19 in Vienna, Austria. The short film will be presented by the film’s director and cinematographer, Georg Koszulinski. The General Assembly is Europe’s largest geosciences event, attended annually by over 16,000 scientists from around the world.
Over the course of a month at sea aboard the Research Vessel Neil Armstrong, an international team of scientists attempt to gain insights into the Earth’s last deglaciation period. Around 15,000 years ago, the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet destabilized and retreated at an accelerated rate, but the reasons for this rapid deglaciation remain unclear. The Baffin Bay Deglacial Experiment (BADEX) seeks a greater understanding of this paleoclimate event, in the hopes of gaining deeper insights into climate change today.
The short film was produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Georg Koszulinski. His Anthropocene Cycle films (2017-23) engage the climate crisis in its deep time/historical contexts while also imagining future worlds based on present trajectories. Over the past two decades, his films have been presented at hundreds of film festivals, museums, and microcinemas worldwide. His feature documentaries can be found on Tubi, Proquest, and Amazon Prime.
The Baffin Bay Deglacial Experiment is a co-production with the BADEX Collaborative, Substream Films, and Lunar Kitchen Films. The BADEX Collaborative is led by chief scientist Dr. Rob Hatfield, and principal investigators Drs. Shannon Klotsko and Brendan Reilly. The project was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, with additional support from the 2023 European Geosciences Union Journalism Fellowship.
