APOCALYPTIC VISIONS
Depictions of end times is a favorite subject of storytellers. The ticking clock of how we’ll get there, be it nuclear war, alien invasion, disease or severe weather, and how the few who survive it will continue to live, has been imagined often as a not-too-distant future. For this series we share cinematic portrayals of the just before, during and after of the apocalypse.
