Peter Whittenberger – I Believe We Are Lost – United States

Set in the not-too-distant future, I Believe We Are Lost follows two figures exploring a perpetually burning landscape. Decimated by fires in a post-water environment, the terrain struggles to sustain wildlife in a constantly degraded atmosphere. The absence of all natural presence begins to define the new world.
