FILM DESCRIPTION: How would you reinvent some part of your world using nature as a model? In “Biocentrics”, this and other provocations are answered by the eyes and voice of biologist Janine Benyus. Traveling to different corners of the planet, the film reveals the birth and principles that guide biomimicry, a transdisciplinary methodology of technological innovation inspired by a master with 3.8 billion years of experience. As a hub connecting knowledge, cultures, natural technologies and initiatives that choose the continuity of life as the premise of their projects, the charismatic activist proposes a common agenda, a new posture and a tool that is at the tip of the spear of contemporary science to face the global challenges that lie ahead.
