Co-produced by Clique Pictures, Transparent Film and the National Film Board of Canada with the participation of the Canada Media Fund and Ontario Media Development Corporation in association with TVO and Knowledge Network with the assistance of Rogers Telefund, Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit and Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.

A poem for the planet, Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper's film Metamorphosis takes the pulse of our earth and bears witness to a moment of profound change: the loss of one world, and the birth of another.

Metamorphosis captures the true scale of the global environmental crisis. Forest fires consume communities, species vanish, and entire ecosystems collapse. Economic growth, tied to increased speed of resource extraction, has created a machine with the capacity to destroy all life.

But this crisis is also an opportunity for transformation. Through a tidal flow of stunning images, Metamorphosis carves a path from the present to the future, and offers a bold new vision for humanity and the world.
