About the movie
Planet A(2022), 74min, English/Korean/Japanese with English subtitles.
🦋Planet A is a metaphor for human arrogance, in which humans destroy nature and other beings, justify their behaviour as “development”, evaluate themselves as “grade A” and are flattered to be on top of Earth.
An experimental musical documentary project, presented as an omnibus of 15 music videos, was created with the goal of challenging the status quo and revealing the truth that lies behind what is happening on this “fantastic planet” right now, along with fighting against all discrimination within it.
🦋The original soundtrack compilation album was released in November 2020 by Korean based musicians who empathise with issues in this world such as climate change, massacres of animals, excessive capitalism, etc.
This film has been screened at over 70 venues around the world including the 18th Jecheon International Music Film Festival(2022) in Korea, the 2nd World Vegan Film Festival Asia(2023) in Indonesia, and the 2nd Mostra Animal Film Festival(2023) in Brazil.
About Director
Haru Lev(he/him)
🦄A professional vagabond, hitchhiker, and social misfit. He left home in 2014 with the idea that he would rather starve to death on the street than work for the rest of his life.
While wandering the world, he was shocked by the scale of the animal exploitation system that humanity collectively condones and the ecosystem destruction it causes. He has since focused his life to exposing the hidden truths of animal agriculture industry.
🦄As the founder of the queer anarchy “artivist” collective for animal liberation PLAGAMI(@plasticagami), and a filmmaker, musician, rapper, writer and video archivist, he stayed in South Korea for three years in solidarity with various struggles before leaving in 2024 for the next chapter of his life.
