Film Independent Members and guests are invited to join us for a live Q&A with Spaceship Earth director/producer Matt Wolf, moderated by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems).

Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life-threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can imagine a new world.

Spaceship Earth is available from NEON.
