Ben Holden – Films For a Possible Future

How can we animate, inspire and engage mainstream culture in the shift to a more ecologically sustainable future?

This question has prompted writer and activist Ben Holden to produce two short films.

From the Mountains to the Sea is the first chapter of a documentary film about an extraordinary journey which hopes to spark a shift in Wales that will inspire creative action for a more satisfying and sustainable future.

Gaia’s Fallen Dream is a kind of tone poem in the vein of Koyaanisqatsi which attempts to raise questions about western society’s relationship with the rest of nature.
