Monolithic power plants; billowing columns of smoke; the backdrop of a red sun. Sirens is an experimental short documentary that captures Germanys coal-fired power plants in their final years of generating energy. Shot entirely from helicopters, the film takes us on a journey through industrial wastelands, thus recalling the passage of Ulysses boat through the Sirens strait. An odyssey through the dystopian industrial world that has left a permanent mark on earths ecosphere.
