Carl Sagan: a lovely and powerful new short film and automaton installation about the urgency of environmental action


In the 1980s, visionary astronomer and science educator Carl Sagan raised the alarm about climate change, destruction of our natural world, and the urgency of environmental action to protect our future. The new short film above—from UN Global Compact, AlmapBBDO, and Boiler Filmes—features clips of Sagan's speeches accompanied by a lovely tape-loop soundtrack by Amulets. 
The animal automatons were created by Argentine artist Pablo Lavezzari and are powered by the reel-to-reel tape machine.
