Pantheras

About This Movie

Pantheras is this intriguing exploration of the Capitalocene, and its pacing really draws you in. The way it captures the Niger Delta’s transformation into an environmental disaster is haunting yet mesmerizing. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of existential dread, something that lingers long after the credits roll. There’s a layer of philosophy woven through, echoing the thoughts of Fanon and other African intellectuals, that gives it depth. The visuals are striking, with an abstract monumentality that feels almost surreal. It’s not a typical narrative, more of a mood piece that forces you to confront the uncomfortable truths about human ambition and its consequences.

Pantheras is somewhat elusive, which adds to its intrigue among collectors. The film’s scarcity on any format makes it a sought-after piece for those who appreciate its blend of philosophical discourse and environmental commentary. It’s reflected in the way collectors share whispers about rare screenings and the occasional bootleg that surfaces. Definitely one of those films that sparks conversation among those who manage to track it down.
