AGAINST CIVILIZATION: SIX FILMS
“God first created silence: whole, indivisible, complete. All creatures—man, woman, beast, insect, bird, and fish—lived happily together with this silence until one day man and woman lay down together and between them created the first word. This displeased God deeply and in anger she shook out her bag of words over the world, sprinkling and showering her creation with them. Her word store rained down upon all creatures, shattering forever the whole that once was silence. God cursed the world with words and forever after it would be a struggle for man and woman to return to the original silence.”
- M. NourbeSe Philip

“As our plight deepens, we glimpse how much must be erased for our redemption.”
- John Zerzan
