Ice is melting at a catastrophic rate, our sea levels are rising, global temperatures are breaking records around the world, pollution is killing ocean life, and arable land is being destroyed and over farmed. How often we can read about – or watch – the destruction humanity has wrought upon the world, time after time, before it is reduced to white noise, droning banalities in the back of our minds? Metamorphosis, which is co-produced by and distributed by the National Film Board of Canada (Nfb), Canada’s public producer and distributor, and directed by Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper, tries to cut through the noise.
