The New Wild

Vortrag und Diskussion

As cities grow and rural populations decline, new and surprising landscapes are appearing across Europe. In fact, with farmland and country life continuing to be relinquished, estimates suggest that by 2030 an additional area size of Poland will have been vacated. What will become of these territories, deemed unproductive by contemporary economics? Right now they are being reclaimed by a self-willed natural world, and fast. If popular ideas of wilderness have tended to evoke the primaeval, a land of before rather than after, then what of these new abandoned landscapes? The New Wild is a documentary film currently in pre-production.
