Mission: 2121
Meray Diner (2021)
Meray is a Cypriot filmmaker based in Glasgow. Identity, environmental and social justice, and peacebuilding in post-conflict have been the recurring themes in her films. She has been influenced by places and situations that humans normalise and tries to explore them from a different perspective. Meray has produced a short experimental film/documentary that explores the impact of current activities that contribute to climate change.
‘Mission: 2121’ is a short Sci-Fi film which presents what the future will look like in one hundred years if we don’t act and look after our planet and peatlands in Scotland. The aim is also to show the species growing in peatlands and how important they are as others from other planets come to collect them.
Meray would like to thank Zhanna Kugotova for her support with editing.
Meray’s hope are that this film and films like these can be used in schools as educational resources and encourage more people to understand the impact of climate change on our planet.
