2022 CATEGORY AWARD: GEOSCIENCE PROFESSIONALS

FINALIST FILM: GEOSCIENCE PROFESSIONALS

Theme: Human Connection

Directed by: Marissa Betts

Country of Origin: Australia

Rola is the Anaiwan word for “stone”. This film explores the inseparable connection between geology, landscapes and culture on Anaiwan Country (Northern Tablelands area of New South Wales, Australia). All places have parallel narratives—the scientific and spiritual, that govern our relationship with them. Woven together, these perspectives invite us to rethink the ways we understand the deep and recent past, present and future of the world around us.
