Trailer [2] - Facing Animals

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0400

Why do we look away from millions of animals in industrial farms while pampering and humanizing others? In the film Facing Animals pigs, chickens, cows and dogs are the protagonists, humans are the antagonist. We see the world from the perspective of the animals: chicks are thrown onto a conveyor belt, a lady is cuddling a cow in a meadow, piglets are screaming while their tails are cut off, dogs are blessed in a church. The stunning, often confronting, visuals take the viewer on a roller coaster of emotions. It becomes clear how complex and often bizarre the relationship between man and animal is. www.facinganimals.com

MIDWAY - Trailer

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0400

The MIDWAY media project is a powerful visual journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch. Returning to the island over several years, our team is witnessing the cycles of life and death of these birds as a multi-layered metaphor for our times. With photographer Chris Jordan as our guide, we walk through the fire of horror and grief, facing the immensity of this tragedy—and our own complicity—head on. And in this process, we find an unexpected route to a transformational experience of beauty, acceptance, and understanding. We frame our story in the vividly gorgeous language of state-of-the-art high-definition digital cinematography, surrounded by millions of live birds in one of the world’s most beautiful natural sanctuaries. The viewer will experience stunning juxtapositions of beauty and horror, destruction and renewal, grief and joy, birth and death, coming out the other side with their heart broken open and their worldview shifted. Stepping outside the stylistic templates of traditional environmental or documentary films, MIDWAY will take viewers on a guided tour into the depths of their own spirits, delivering a profound message of reverence and love that is already reaching an audience of tens of millions of people around the world. Production of the feature film "MIDWAY" continues through 2012. For more information: www.MidwayFilm.com Blog: www.MidwayJourney.com

The Last Lions (2011) - Official Trailer

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0500

Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-in-Residence at National Geographic for more than four years. Pointing to poaching as a primary threat while noting the lion's pride of place on the list for eco-tourists-an industry that brings in 200 billion dollars per year worldwide-the Jouberts build a solid case for both the moral duty we have to protect lions (as well as other threatened "big cats," tigers among them) and the economic sense such protection would make. Coming to theatres on February 18, 2011 Directed by: Dereck Joubert Narrated by: Jeremy Irons

Raid on Reykjavik Reloaded - Trailer

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500

Last November marked 25th anniversary of one of the biggest and most successful direct actions at the animal liberation field. On the November 6th 1986, the small and sleepy capital of Iceland woke up to a very special morning. Two whaling ships were found laying at the bottom of the harbor. From the very fact that there were two ships sunk it was clear that it was an act of sabotage, not an accident. Police immediately started massive search operation but the two saboteurs from the Sea Shepherd organization were already abroad and safe. Nobody was ever at trial for this multi-million act of sabotage. Iceland put moratorium on whaling which was only called off few years ago. Twenty five years after the sabotage a young journalist is coming to Iceland to write the piece on the renewed whaling. Instead she starts to follow a fascinating story of a sabotage, try to learn about its motives and actual executing as well as consequences. “I just want to tell people that they can do the same thing if they are committed enough and if they believe in it enough. They should set their goals as high as they want and they can achieve them. Don´t like that there is only this one element of people in the world that do this type of things. It isn´t that way. It´s just that some people have reached certain level and they just can´t tolerate it any more. Once they overcome the ego-wall within themselves they compel to follow the higher law and not the laws established by the power structures to protect themselves. Sometimes it´s not a question whether it´s right or wrong, but just how you going to do it.” – Rod Coronado, one of the Reykjavik saboteurs

The Shock Doctrine - Trailer

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0400

An investigation of "disaster capitalism", based on Naomi Klein's proposition that neo-liberal capitalism feeds on natural disasters, war and terror to establish its dominance. The Shock Doctrine is the latest documentary from acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom, co-directed by Mat Whitecross. Based on Naomi Klein's bestselling book, The Shock Doctrine argues that America's 'free market' policies have come to dominate the world through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries. Both the film and the book argue that governments all over the world exploit natural disasters, economic crises and wars to push through radical free market policies. Klein calls this 'disaster capitalism' and in her view, disaster capitalism is as effective as psychiatric shock therapy at wiping our collective memory. The film concludes that the result is often catastrophic for ordinary people and hugely beneficial to big corporations. The documentary also adds to Klein's thesis - which was written before the recent market turmoil - and includes an analysis of how the financial world got into its current troubled state.

SEVENTH GENERATION (2012) - Trailer

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when one industry has too much power? Politicians become pawns. Laws are created and prevented. Regulations are bypassed. Information is controlled. Dissent is stifled. Our climate changes. And people die. SEVENTH GENERATION is a documentary film exposing the shocking lengths the fossil fuel industry travels to ensure maximum profits for executives and shareholders. In the United States, this industry spends millions of dollars annually to lobby Congress, ensuring the political support necessary to pass supportive or block restrictive laws. Using this control, the industry has managed to dictate energy and climate policies in the U.S., working alongside federal administrations. The same industry has spent millions of dollars to fund think tanks, organizations, and scientists who have waged a global campaign of deceit regarding the science of climate change and its dire impacts. Those who have spoken out against the corruption, environmental and health impacts caused by its irresponsible business practices have been assaulted, jailed, tortured, and murdered.This unchecked corporate drive for profits has come at the expense of workers, families, indigenous peoples, the environment, and threatens our very survival on the planet. It has and continues to undermine democracy in the United States. SEVENTH GENERATION was filmed on location in the United States, Tuvalu, Fiji, England, Belgium, Denmark, Kenya, Uganda, Peru, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Netherlands, and Germany. The film is currently in post production and scheduled to be released in 2012.

The Simpson's by Bansky contro lavoro minorile e sfruttamento animale

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0400

Bansky, forse il più noto street artist britannico, fa spesso parlare di sè a causa della crudezza dei suoi messaggi, spesso decisamente violenti nell’impatto emotivo. Famosa, è stata la sua requisitoria contro il governo americano a seguito dell’uragano Katrina suggellata da decine di murales, ma questa volta, se possibile, si è addirittura superato e lo ha fatto andando a personalizzare la sigla dei Simpson’s, uno dei migliori prodotti a disegni animati dell’ultimo ventennio e proprio su proposta della 20th Century Fox, che, tuttavia, non è stata risparmiata dalla sua invettiva. Dopo un inizio “normalmente irriverente” in cui Marge, Homer e Bart vengono fatti accomodare sul consueto divano di casa, Bansky si scaglia contro la stessa casa di produzione “Fox”, rea come molte altre, di aver esternalizzato una parte delle sue animazioni nel sud della Corea. Ma non è tutto, il messaggio dissacratorio si allarga a livello globale sfidando l’ignominia delle moltissime multinazionali che utilizzano, senza alcuna remora, il lavoro minorile e la distruzione dell’ambiente per massimizzare il profitto. Nella fattispecie, osservando il lavoro del bambino che intinge in un non meglio specificato liquido verdognolo le immagini della famiglia Simpson, prodotte in serie da decine di disegnatrici - e nonostante non vengano citate - non possono non saltare alla mente le fabbriche della bile in Cina che tengono prigionieri decine di orsi della luna. Inoltre, le bambole di Bart vengono imbottite con la pelliccia di gatti tritati. Persino un panda e un unicorno vengono sfruttati. La sigla, comunque, è andata normalmente in onda domenica scorsa negli States. Stranamente, però, è stata già rimossa da You Tube e l’unica ancora on-line è stata caricata al contrario. Autore Claudia Arzilli
