Can documentary films convey ecological values? Robert Sinnerbrink (Macquarie University, Sydney) explores this question in his talk Ecocinema and Ecological Value: Documentary Ethics in the Anthropocene. Analysing three exemplary films, he works out different documentary approaches: the evidentiary-argumentative approach (AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, US 2006), the poetico-aestheticist approach (KOYAANISQATSI, US 1982), and a combination of the two. This hybrid ‘poetico-discursive’ approach can be found in the recent documentary ANTHROPOCENE: THE HUMAN EPOCH (CA 2018), which will be screened after the lecture at 8 pm. In combining discursive arguments with poetic expression, such films are more likely to encourage enduring attitudinal and social change.
