Synopsis

Aniara is the story of one of the many spaceships used for transporting Earth’s fleeing population to their new home-planet Mars. But just as the ship leaves the destroyed Earth, she collides with space junk and is thrown off her course. The passengers slowly realize that they’ll never be able to return.

Program Note

Aniara is based on a 1956 sci-fi poem of the same title, written by novel laureate Harry Martinson. People boarding a spaceship to Mars are annihilated in a predicted apocalypse. Aniara is a poetic Sci-Fi film laced with modern imagination and powerful expression. Cataclysmic scenes featuring suicidal articial intelligence, a new religion, and group sex will horrify.
