Humankind has built a world of fear and repression around itself.  This film explores spirituality from a scientific viewpoint and covers all points of the human condition explaining in depth, among many other things how ideas of royalty and appointed leadership have always lead to our downfall. This film goes deep into the past, present and future of the events that have shaped our existence. Ending with the viewer having a deeper understanding of how all the infinite connections that link everyone to everything around them has more meaning than any of the artificiality of the superficial world that we have constructed.

“Kymatica will open your eyes to why your every day thoughts and actions directly correspond to what’s going to happen if we don’t change them.”

Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new president will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst?

Meet Michael Ruppert, a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness, at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. Director Chris Smith has shown an affinity for outsiders in films like American Movie and The Yes Men. In Collapse, he departs stylistically from his past documentaries by interviewing Ruppert in a format that recalls the work of Errol Morris and Spalding Gray.

Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate about the issue of peak oil, the concern raised by scientists since the seventies that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesn’t hold back at sounding an alarm, portraying an apocalyptic future. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded, and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments.

Collapse also serves as a portrait of a loner. Over the years, Ruppert has stood up for what he believes in despite fierce opposition. He candidly describes the sacrifices and motivators in his life. While other observers analyze details of the economic crisis, Ruppert views it as symptomatic of nothing less than the collapse of industrial civilization itself.

Future by Design is a documentary film by Academy Award® nominated
filmmaker William Gazecki, sharing the life and far-reaching vision of
Jacque Fresco, a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster
Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as
a multi-disciplinarian or “generalist” — a student of many inter-related
fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 90
years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which
entail the use of innovative technology.
The film explores Fresco’s world of the future, where scientific method,
not politics, rules world operations, and all human activities and efforts
are directed towards achieving dynamic equilibrium between man and
nature.
