SINOPSIS

NATURA FUGIT explores how a landscape is transformed over time—a geological tempo beyond our present-day perception—revealing a process of gradual degradation in which we humans play an active role, with our own actions accelerating the already evident ongoing changes. The film unfolds in a specific location, a visible, tangible, and verifiable setting for the process of global warming and the disappearance of glaciers. This is the Mer de Glace, in the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix, one of the first natural environments where the conquest of nature is taking place. It portrays the increasing human activity in the mountains while revealing undeniable evidence of the accelerating climate change. The film takes us back thousands of years, then rapidly moves forward, traversing successive ice ages and reaching our present day, before continuing hundreds of years into the future—a future marked by the predictable degradation and eventual disappearance of life on the planet. NATURA FUGIT is set on Europe’s most studied, painted, and referenced glacier, depicted in the past by well-known artists such as Friedrich, Ruskin, Turner, and Violet le Duc. The short film illustrates, through sketches, the constant cycle of the ice’s advance and retreat—its layers expanding and contracting repeatedly, as if the landscape itself were breathing (somewhat agonically)—culminating eventually in an environmental catastrophe and the collapse of all life.
