'Humboldt USA' Documentary Explores Evolving Human-Nature Relationship
The documentary 'Humboldt USA,' directed by G. Anthony Svatek, explores the changing relationship between humans and nature through the lens of Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist. The film travels across the U.S., from redwood forests to urban areas, weaving together stories of people and Humboldt's own words. It highlights the interconnectedness of nature, a concept Humboldt proposed in the 19th century. The film will premiere at the Visions du Réel festival in Switzerland and later in the U.S. at the Museum of the Moving Image.
