LUNATIC

Robin Noorda, Netherlands, 2024

The film tackles urgent earthly issues, as seen by a lonely astronaut, called Antonio, who was left behind on the moon after his coming out.  The Moon Guard, a statue of a skinned warrior, symbolises defence against the danger of space debris. In addition to the climate crisis, human waste, even in space, determines our fate. The earth ends up with a Saturn like dust ring of metal and silicon. Antonio is aware of these problems and as he put's it: “It is one small scrap by man, one giant heap by mankind.” He finally he meets the all knowing 'I am AI' who also happens to be the voice over.
