Aspen Film, in collaboration with the Eisner/Lauder New Views Documentaries & Dialogue Series, and in partnership with NEON present:
SPACESHIP EARTH (2020)
DOCUMENTARY | 1 HR 45 MIN
Friday, May 8
Each ticket will be $3.99 and once purchased, you will have 72 hours to watch the film.
Directed by Matt Wolf, Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially reimagine a new world.
Immediately following the film will be a pre-recorded panel with the film’s director, Matt Wolf and producer Stacey Reiss moderated by Elliot Gerson, Executive Vice President of the Aspen Institute.
