Planetary Imagination includes interview footage with the legendary science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (author of 2001: A Space Oddyssey) who grew up on a farm in Somerset, combined with educational footage about the solar system and beyond.
Through research, Ghadiali has sourced stories of journeys in and out of the South West region, using a range of archival footage from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
In an age of environmental crisis, Planetary Imagination looks at how we relate to shared histories so we can imagine sustainable futures together.
Planetary Imagination is commissioned by The Box, supported by the British Film Institute, Arts Council England and is produced by Radical Ecology.
