Reconnect to Something Bigger

Challenging global perspectives with Planetary Collective

To coincide with International Earth Day in 2015, Planetary Collective released a passionate film exploring Earth and our perspectives of it…
Planetary is a provocative and breathtaking wakeup call – a cross continental, cinematic journey, that explores our cosmic origins and our future as a species. It is a poetic and humbling reminder that now is the time to shift our perspective. Planetary asks us to rethink who we really are, to reconsider our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us – to remember that we are Planetary.”
The film interweaves imagery from NASA Apollo missions with visions of the Milky Way, Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas, and the cacophonous sounds of downtown Tokyo and Manhattan. Astronauts, environmentalists, anthropologists and explorers share their hopes for humanity.
“We are in the midst of a global crisis of perspective. We have forgotten the undeniable truth that every living thing is connected”

The film shares a similar viewpoint to PATTERNITY, asking people to consider the magnificent in the mundane – including stunning footage from around the globe, from the macro viewpoint of space to microscopic cells – and offers a call to action to notice that everything in the world and the Universe is connected…
