If you care about the future of the planet and mankind, again, Hungry is for you. If neither applies to you, but the idea of a sci-fi doc created by a mysterious Being sounds intriguing, check out an exclusive clip from Hungry that THR can exclusively debut. The film by Susanne Brandstaetter (This Land Is My Land) world premieres today Monday evening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). The doc, set in a world without humans at an unspecified time, sees a Being arriving to find out "what we lost - and what we failed to see," highlights a synopsis of the film. "Or did we?" In the process, this strange Being creates Hungry, which mixes audio interviews with scientists and activists and evocative imagery.

"I wanted to create a really immersive [cinematic] experience," Brandstaetter told THR in a recent interview. The U.S.-born, Austria-based filmmaker also highlighted that despite the lack of humans in the doc, Hungry is not pessimistically dystopian. "When you watch the whole film, I think, you understand that it is actually very positive," Brandstaetter said. "I'm really an optimist at heart, and the film has a positive message. There's a dramatic twist, which I don't want to give away, but it's definitely not doom-mongering." Concluded the writer, director and producer of the film: "I want it to be thought-provoking. I want people to be emotionally touched and think about what they're hearing and seeing." Speaking of "hearing and seeing," the time for talking - or writing - is over. Time to act!
