Meanwhile on Earth

Witness the wonder of Thomas Cailley’s Meanwhile on Earth, a speculative science fiction drama set in a near-future world.

The film follows multiple interconnected characters as they grapple with the knowledge that Earth will become uninhabitable within their lifetime due to environmental collapse. As governments, scientists, and everyday people search for solutions—from space colonization to radical technological innovations—Cailley weaves a thought-provoking narrative about human resilience, fear, and hope.
