Cracked earth, Whipped Cream and dusty art

The Human Epoch: Guess what, fellow earthlings? We’re wrecking the only planet we live on! Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky follow up Manufactured Landscapes and Watermark with a sobering meditation on psychedelic potash mines, expansive concrete seawalls, mammoth industrial machines and other examples of humanity ’s massive re-engineering of the planet visible from space. Do we still have time to undo the damage? Stick your head in a hole or maybe take a look? Details: 7 p.m. at Metro Cinema (8712 109 St.), $13 adult at metrocinema.org
