French duo Menilmonde imagines New York flooded in dystopian short film

The French video duo Menilmonde has created a short film titled 'Two°C – New York' depicting a flooded Manhattan. The dystopian scenario is based on a plausible global temperature rise of just two degrees Celsius, which would submerge the city. The video also references the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands, which threatens to collapse and generate a 650-meter tsunami. The filmmakers removed all people from the scene, leaving the city fully functional with billboards still lit, creating an unsettling blend of reality and fiction through digital effects.
