The Canadian film, by directors Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky, is set for a September theatrical release.
The Canadian documentary Anthropocene: The Human Epoch, narrated by Oscar winner Alicia Vikander, has had its U.S. rights nabbed by Kino Lorber.
The climate change film that explores the human impact on our planet debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival before a recent screening at Sundance and ahead of a European premiere in Berlin. Kino Lorber plans a September theatrical release to coincide with the UN Climate Change Summit 2019.
That will be followed by a release on Kanopy, a free-to-user streaming platform. Anthropocene, shot in 20 countries, is in English, Russian, Italian, German, Mandarin and Cantonese, with English subtitles.
“The indelible cinematography and soundscape of Anthropocene: The Human Epoch achieves the highest purpose of art, which is to change hearts and minds. We feel particularly driven by the warming climate to bring this powerful mind-changing film to American audiences,” Wendy Lidell, senior vp theatrical and non-theatrical distribution and acquisitions at Kino Lorber, said Wednesday in a statement.

Oscar winner Timothy Hutton has joined Julie Taymor’s Gloria Steinem feature The Glorias: A Life on the Road. He will play the role of Leo Steinem, Gloria’s father. Julianne Moore plays Steinem, while Alicia Vikander will play the feminist icon at ages 20-40.
The movie, based on Steinem’s memoir, follows her journey to becoming a crusader for equal rights and her groundbreaking work as a journalist and campaigner. Bette Midler also stars as activist, lawyer and politician Bella Abzug, who along with other feminists such as Steinem, Shirley Chisholm and Betty Friedan founded the National Women’s Political Caucus. She went on to become a U.S. Representative. Janelle Monae stars as Dorothy Pitman Hughes.
Hutton can currently be seen in Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, a re-imagining of Shirley Jackson’s classic 1959 novel. He received an Emmy nomination for his role on John Ridley’s critically praised ABC series American Crime, and also currently stars in ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder opposite Viola Davis. Additionally, Hutton can be seen in the Amazon series Jack Ryan, opposite John Krasinski, as well as the Plan B feature Beautiful Boy with Steve Carell.
Hutton also starred in last year’s Ridley Scott feature All the Money in the World. He is repped by WME, Untitled Entertainment and Jackoway Tyerman.
FilmNation is repping foreign sales on The Glorias. Taymor wrote the script with playwright Sarah Ruhl. Page Fifty-Four Pictures’ Alex Saks is producing with Taymor and Lynn Hendee. Steinem is executive producing alongside Amy Richards. Principal photography is underway in Savannah, GA. [Source]

Tomb Raider and The Danish Girl star Alicia Vikander has lent her voice to big-canvas documentary Anthropocene: The Human Epoch, which will get its world premiere this week at the Toronto Film Festival.
The science-themed doc, from filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier and photographer Edward Burtynsky, contends that human impact on the planet means we have entered a new geological era.
The Toronto-based trio travelled to six of seven continents and 20 countries (the project was entirely carbon offset), documenting evidence of human domination, from concrete seawalls that cover 60% of China’s mainland coast to potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, and marble quarries in Italy to surreal phosphate tailings ponds in Florida.
The film is in English, Russian, Italian, German, Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles. Pic is being released in Canada by Mongrel Media. Seville International is handling international sales.
“Alicia’s exceptional voice, and her considerable talent in knowing how to use it, has elevated our film enormously and brings a beauty and hope to the narration that is crucial. We are deeply honored by her participation,” Baichwal said.
The film is part of The Anthropocene Project, which also includes exhibitions, VR and books. It is the third in a trilogy of films that also include Manufactured Landscapes and Watermark.
Vikander recently wrapped shooting on the Wash Westmoreland thriller Earthquake Bird. [Source]
