HUMAN - The Movie

 “Human – The Movie” The Golden Way: Films That Make a Difference, an initiative of the St. Augustine Film Society in partnership with the St. Augustine Film Festival, will screen the film”Human” at the St. Augustine Film Festival at Ringhaver Student Center at Flagler College.

This film, produced and directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, consists of exclusive aerial footage, exquisite music and first-person stories told into the camera. This exceptional fresco paints a portrait of humanity today which will resonate with each of us. Whatever the country, the culture, the age, or the religion, the journalists put the same key questions about the human condition. Do you feel free? What is the toughest trial you have had to face, and what did you learn from it? What is your message for the inhabitants of the planet? The film examines if we all have the same thirst for love, freedom and recognition? In a world torn between tradition and modernity, do our fundamental needs remain the same? Deep down, what does it mean to be human today? What is the meaning of life? Are our differences so great? Do we, in fact, share more values than we might have imagined? And if so, why can we not manage to understand one another? This film carries the voice of all those who told their stories.

Chistopher LeClere, a Visual Anthropologist at the University of Florida, will moderate the event.
