About 10,000 years ago the last Ice Age finally ended. The climate soon came to resemble our own climate today, providing a sound platform for human development. Rather than moving about, man now began shaping his own environment to meet his needs. Having now entered a new millennium, mankind is living in a new age, of accelerated change, unimaginable possibilities and complex uncertainties. 20-22 explores the postmodern mankind - its development and environment - by taking us on a journey into the far reaches of this futuristic yet familiar world, giving exclusive access to familiar as well as rarely seen places, fascinating events and characters. Being nonverbal and not relying on dialogue, 20-22 transcends the human language to offer a purely cinematic and sensorial experience beyond verbal information. 20-22 uses a classic motion picture technology, that is Kodak’s Black and White celluloid film. Having been shot during 5 years in more than 100 places across the US and Canada, 20-22 consists of a series of films. ‘20-22: ALPHA’ is the first film in the series. Overall 20-22 is a symphony of spectacular moving images and evocative music; a cinematic essay on postmodern mankind and its man-made environment.
