"The Final Land" (US-title: "Final Voyage") tells the story of two disparate men who escape from a desolate planet in a small, old spaceship and search for a new home in space.
The film was produced independently as a passion project by a small, enthusiastic team from South Westphalia, Germany, supported by many via crowdfunding. The story is mythological, the atmosphere is claustrophobic, the setting is entirely handmade, the effects are all “practical” - old-school tricks were used instead of computer animation.
Since 2019, “The Final Land” has been shown at many international film festivals and has won several awards, including Best Production Design and Best Cinematography. The film has been distributed worldwide since 2020. It was first released in the USA and soon, in 2021, also in Germany, in cinemas, on Bluray/DVD and via streaming. In cooperation with “Rocket-Beans TV”, a 'Limited-4-Disc-Collectors Edition' was also released.
