Evolution (Megaplex)

Director: Marco Brambilla

Institute History

  • 2012 Sundance Film Festival

Description

In this magnificent, large-scale, stereoscopic, 3-D video collage, media artist Marco Brambilla presents a scrolling mural depicting the history of humankind, illustrating sweeping movements of world conflict through a cinematic lens by seamlessly remixing hundreds of individual channels of looped video gathered from Hollywood’s blockbuster films. Evolution (Megaplex) invites audiences to roam whimsically through the annals of time while casting a satirical look at the bombast of the big-budget “epic.”

Supported and underwritten by The Mill New York
