Anthropocene is a short documentary film about the water crisis, narrated through artworks by the painter Hasan. Endangered creatures are the main subject of this documentary film. The construction of the Ilisu Dam resulted in the flooding of Hasankeyf and 270 villages, which have a history stretching back 12,000 years. The film explores how the construction of the dam has shaped both the ecosystem and the collective memory of the region surrounding the Tigris River.
