Signatures of Earth | Documentary screening + Q&A
Advertisement
A blend of astronomy, philosophy and environmental observation, followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
2026 | Unclassified 15+ | 73 mins | D: Rob Nugent
Journeying across Australia to witness a total solar eclipse, filmmaker Robert Nugent collects fragmentary encounters, observations and reflections along the way. From cuttlefish to quasars, local stories to planetary questions, Signatures of Earth assembles a constellation of perspectives that challenge conventional documentary storytelling.
Presented as an experiment in documentary narrative, the film embraces a poetic, contemplative approach to the Anthropocene. Rather than offering simple answers, it invites audiences to reflect on humanity's place within larger environmental and cosmic systems.
‘Signatures of Earth places humankind's heavenly gaze in juxtaposition with patchy, quotidian, Earth-bound situations.’ — Environmental Films Australia
Stay for a post-screening conversation with Rob Nugent exploring how cinema makes sense of our tangled environmental realities.
