Refugia, Where life will persist

For a decade, environmental artist, Anne de Carbuccia has travelled the world, documenting drought, water shortage, plastic-filled oceans, endangered species and cultures through her camera. She states that she ‘wanted to maintain her artistic and sensitive stance as she photographed beautiful imagery, and create a film that is accessible as it attempts to encourage people to contemplate who they are and where they come from’. The filmmaker is inspired by dedicated ‘Earth Protectors’ she meets on the sites of climate disaster and sees a glimpse of hope for the environment.

Twelve international filmmakers create connections between humans and animals, through biodiversity, ecosystem, climate change, environment and water risks.

Filmed across a pivotal decade (2014-2024), follow artist Anne de Carbuccia as she meets Earth Protectors, the voices rising worldwide to defend our planet. Through striking imagery and powerful testimony, the series explores a world in flux: through adaptation, cultural loss, youth movements… where technology and societal evolution offer hope.
