Building off the themes of Interstellar, this short film weaves submissions from people around the world into a story celebrating the human experience on Earth. Directed by David Brodie (The Witness, Survivors) and creative directed by Angus Wall (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network), the film serves as a time capsule that shows future generations what life on Earth was like, should we leave this planet.

"The premise is this: if humans have to leave the Earth behind, how will they remember what Earth was like?  The film is a time capsule for those future humans to remind them how humans on earth live."

The title EMIC is named after the anthropological term referencing the analysis of culture - the film asked this generation to archive their moment in time by submitting memorable and inspiring photos, music performances, poetry and artwork to give future generations a way to remember Earth as it is today. The film will serve as a time capsule that shows future generations what life on Earth was like, should we leave this planet.

This short film is comprised of almost 8,000 video submissions from people all around the world, highlighting the human spirit and how that manifests itself around the globe.   EMIC is released on Google Play, the same day as the digital release of Interstellar. This is available to audiences for free on Google Play at [CLICK HERE]
