Underland

Produced by Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream) and based on Robert Macfarlane’s acclaimed book, Underland is a mesmerizing cinematic journey directed by Robert Petit. Beginning in the shallow soil beneath an ancient ash tree, the film follows a group of “astronauts of the underworld” into sacred caves, storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers, and a vast subterranean science lab built to probe the universe’s secrets.

Narrated with spectral precision by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall), and paired with Hannah Peel’s evocative score, Underland transforms these daring expeditions into a meditation on humanity’s fragile relationship with the Earth. With its hypnotic imagery and mythic sensibility, the film reveals the hidden depths that connect our past, present, and possible futures.

“Immersive, philosophical, visually breathtaking, and existential.”
-Sara Clements, Next Best Picture
