Extraction: The Raft of the Medusa is a meditation on humanity’s massive redesign of the planet and a dystopian pamphlet on the Anthropocene.
It portrays a moment of euphoria as the drifting occupants on the raft, hoping and praying to be rescued, appear to glimpse a possibility of salvation. We can almost hear the hoarse cries through which they attempt to draw attention to their desperate plight, mustering a final ounce of strength before the void. This is their last chance of survival.
Extraction: The Raft of the Medusa refers to the colonial paradigm, worldview, and technologies that mark out regions of high biodiversity to reduce life to its conversion into a resource through capitalism, with an enormous environmental and social impact.
It is an allegory for states of emergency in environmental policy, climate, and migration, with an ethical-political purpose.
The project was initiated under the frame of a
commission by Art for the World, a non-governmental organization associated with the UNDPI/ Department of Public Information of the United Nations, to be featured in Interdependence 2019 (Eleven International Filmmakers joining forces to raise Awareness on Environment and Climate Change). Interdepence 2019 premiered at Rome Film Festival, Rome. (22 October 2019) and was distributed by the European Broadcasting
Union (EBU/Eurovision), the Televisión América
Latina (TAL), the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union
(ABU), and ART for The World in universities,
NGO networks, social media, in-flight screenings,
museums, cultural institutions and its partners
circuits with an outreach of 25,000,000 viewers by
2021. The other productions were developed due
to other partners and exhibited accordingly. Interdependence
