Environmental immersive experience Arcadia Earth has created a film series called A Vision for Tomorrow to be distributed to planetariums across the US.
The first segment of the four-part feature highlights the importance of trees. It will preview later this month at the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium in New Jersey – the largest planetarium in the western hemisphere.
A Vision for Tomorrow is an immersive journey that reimagines humanity’s relationship with the planet.
At the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium, the film’s innovative storytelling and powerful environmental message will be shown on an 89-foot screen.
The planetarium boasts a resolution of 88 million pixels, a lighting system that produces more than 281 trillion colours, and speakers capable of producing 30,000 watts of digital sound.
Showings will take place from 19 April through 27 April. The film is free with general admission as part of the science centre’s Wild About Animals Earth Day celebration.
A Vision for Tomorrow was developed to educate, inspire and drive action.
First part of series to focus on trees
Each segment focuses on a crucial environmental element; trees, air, water and soil. These all illuminate the delicate balance between people and nature.
The experience finishes with a call to action, giving audiences a QR code linking to initiatives led by non-profit partners of Arcadia Earth.
For the trees segment, Arcadia Earth has worked with American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organisation in the US.
Through the collaboration and film, Arcadia Earth and American Forests are raising awareness of the urgent need to restore forests and expand tree cover in communities.
In more news, Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) has opened the second-largest planetarium in the US.
