Directed by Thom Lunshof Starring Hadewych Minis, Violet Braeckman, Oona De Kok, Aus Greidanus Jr. Fenna (Hadewych Minis) is living alone, in what looks like an industrial cathedral, which actually turns out to be an enormous offshore wind turbine, one of the few structures still above the waters in this post-climate change world.

Directed by Stanley Kramer Starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson, John Tate “Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, you’ll come a waltzing, Matilda, with me…” When I was a teen, back in the 1980s, the Doomsday genre was pretty well-established, from works like the BBC’s unbelievably powerful and bleak Threads dramatisation of a nuclear attack on a...
