John Osborne
Genesis is an animated film that traces the path of evolution from the big bang to the arrival of industry and the resulting impact on the planet. This journey, without words, is accompanied by an audio track of music and sounds. As the stages evolve from one to the next, they are recognizable but not realistic, making this video more allegory than documentary and fulfills the evolutionary message or perhaps even a spiritual one.
