Planned for a CCTV broadcast on China’s first celebrated Earth Day but ultimately blocked from airing, ONLY ONE EARTH addresses a world in the midst of ecological crisis. The most visually experimental of the films in this program, Chen Jue uses techniques learned from studying filmmakers like Chris Marker and documentaries like Alexander Grasshof’s FUTURE SHOCK to present harrowing international and domestic episodes of famine, species loss, toxic exposure, animal slaughter, and chemical weapons—while drawing on anxieties and collective trauma carried by an entire generation of Chinese intellectuals at the end of the 1980s.
