Extremophiles

Extremophiles

Extremophiles are organisms that exist when nothing else can survive. In this environmental documentary about pollution, director Leah Shore presents a slide show of lethal hot spots in Brooklyn as a duo in matching grey suits strike ominous poses. Beginning with the infamous Gowanus Canal, which contains 100 years of hazardous waste, the film scrolls through a series of danger zones seeping with raw sewage, leaked oil, and contaminated soil. Potent compositions of waste sites are framed with experimental human movement, or complete stillness, and delivered with a menacing sense of dread. -KA. Directed by Leah Shore.
