Nederlands volgt Engels At last, a brand-new film adaptation of the 1959 award-winning sci-fi book Dune will be released mid-September. Set on a desert planet in the distant future, Dune tells the epic tale of a power struggle between two noble families. This seemingly simple plot is laced with an inspiring story on ecology, human progress, and spirituality. What stories do these ecological and religious dimensions of Dune tell? And which lessons can we learn from them today? Go and see Dune for yourself in the cinema and join us a few days later for a conversation with climate philosopher Lisa Doeland and religion scholar Seth Bledsoe on the importance and significance of the desert world of Dune. Eindelijk komt er medio september een nieuwe verfilming uit van Dune, het prijswinnende sci-fi boek uit 1959. Dune is een indrukwekkend epos over de machtsstrijd tussen twee adellijke families op een woestijnplaneet in de verre toekomst. Tussen de regels van het plot speelt zich een inspirerend verhaal af over ecologie, menselijke vooruitgang en spiritualiteit. Wat is de betekenis van deze ecologische en religieuze dimensies van Dune? Welke lessen kunnen we hier uit trekken? Bekijk Dune zelf in de bioscoop en sluit een paar dagen later aan bij dit gesprek met klimaatfilosoof Lisa Doeland en religiewetenschapper Seth Bledsoe over het belang en de betekenis van woestijnsymboliek in Dune.
