Introduction
The environmental crisis is under discussion once again: with an awareness that continues to grow, year after year, not only among experts in the sector and an increasingly attentive public. It’s a sign of a renewed sensibility, which is growing with the increasing concern and anger of the public. The need to monitor and encourage this awareness is crucial, and Milano Film Festival for the second year in a row is running an exhibition dedicated to the environment and to the conditions that are ravaging land, water, and the world’s (un)natural resources.

Planetaria is marked by a desire to investigate and deepen some of the central issues, while exploring new unusual territories, through stories which show glimpses of life which become world, symbol and symptom of a global illness.

And so the conversation returns to water resources and to the scandal of their exploitation by the multinationals; to an environmental disaster which is destroying an entire ecosystem and killing a community; to the environmental crises which are creating waves of refugees throughout the world; and to the massacre of the dolphins in Japan, filmed as an Academy Award action film. These stories trace the vicious circle which leads to man, formerly the executioner, finally finding himself the victim.
