In celebration of Earth Day, we have teamed up with distributor KimStim for a weeklong digital release of the acclaimed 2019 documentary Earth.

Several billion tons of earth are moved annually by humans - with shovels, excavators or dynamite. Nikolaus Geyrhalter observes people, in mines, quarries and at large construction sites, engaged in a constant struggle to take possession of the planet. 

Earth Day Q&A with director Nikolaus Geyrhalter & Sarah Holbrook at The Living Room Theater for Earth Day on April 22nd, at 7pm EST

“As mesmerizing to watch as it is appalling to think about.”-Manohla Dargis, New York Times 

“One of the most important and poignant environmental documentaries in recent years”-Cineuropa 


Due to the nature of this screening we are unable to offer sliding scale ticketing prices. A portion of all ticket sales from Earth will go to directly supporting Maysles Cinema and our documentary education programs for young people in Harlem during these uncertain times. We continue to be incredibly grateful for our engaged and resilient community and their support.
