Celebrating a decade of cinematic focus of Earth's diverse environments,
the 2002 Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital has become
a national leader in showcasing the finest in environmental filmmaking.
Founded in 1993 by Flo Stone, a respected film programmer, the Festival
seeks to expand the public’s knowledge and understanding of our world.
The Environmental Film Festival is not a competitive festival and no
prizes are awarded. There are no formal submissions. In consultation
with the Festival office, presenting organizations select and develop
their own screenings. A small, talented Festival staff coordinates and
promotes the program with the help of volunteers and interns.
Most events with the more than 65 collaborating organizations are free,
and all are open to the public. Almost all the screenings are enhanced
by discussions with filmmakers, special guests and environmental
experts.
The 2002 schedule encompasses a broad mix of films. Included are winning
selections from other festivals: Jackson Hole, MOUNTAINFILM in
Telluride, the U.N. Association Film Festival, the Ottawa International
Student Animation Festival, and Germany’s ÖKOMEDIA.
Our 10th Festival presents 105 films, with 54 Washington D.C. premieres
from 27 countries. Following an exciting Pre-Festival Event, the program
is held over 11 days at museums, libraries, embassies, environmental
organizations, international institutions, and community centers
throughout Washington D.C.
In The Washington Post a year ago, Suzanne Richardson captured the essence
of the Festival: “The powerful images of film and the newfound awareness
of our environment are inextricably bound.” She observed that the
Environmental Film Festival “aptly reflects its subject—it’s big and
sprawling with as many eyes as a jumping spider.”
Film subjects span the world, and focus on local issues as well. Gifted
filmmakers give us diverse and powerful ways of entering, experiencing,
and understanding our surroundings. The environment cannot be left to
“environmentalists.” It needs the attention of us all. It thrives on the
vigilance of citizens, and the wonder of small children, but it also
requires the special gifts of scientists, teachers, government
officials, and artists of all kinds—writers, sculptors, architects,
painters, musicians, poets and, of course, filmmakers.
Through a great variety of screenings, the Festival reaches out to
audiences of all ages and welcomes the public’s reactions and
suggestions. We dedicate our Festival’s 10th year by echoing words from
Peter Matthiessen’s new book, The Birds of Heaven: Travels with Cranes
—“For all those working to defend the sanctity of Earth’s precious land
and life.”

Low Impact Filmmaking
A Practical Guide to Environmentally Sound Film and Video Production
By Larry Fessenden
larry@glasseyepix.com
(Lives and works in New York...)
As environmental concerns become increasingly urgent, people from all
walks of life are looking for ways to be part of the solution instead of
the problem.
This essential guide gives producers and production managers access to
environmentally conscientious and money saving resources that can help
reduce wastefulness in the film business.
The book includes a discussion of major environmental and animal rights
issues as well as a Forward which places the issues in historical
perspective.
Written by filmmakers for filmmakers, this 100 page illustrated guide
offers suggestions about every aspect of a film or video project, and
includes a candid description of the real life application of these
ideas through notes on the making of the independent feature NO TELLING,
which was shot in upstate New York in the summer of 1990.
In a fruitless effort to raise uncomfortable issues about waste in the
film business, Fessenden wrote this book with Michael Ellenbogen to
discuss environmental approaches to film production. Distributed by
Terre Verde in New York, its observations are still relevant. Thanks to
Scott MacCauley for giving it the nod in FILMMAKER MAGAZINE back in '92.
Though the environmentally sound bindings are starting to biodegrade,
Copies are still available!

From:

Six European environmental film festivals have joined to form a network at
the initiative of the Copenhagen-based Royal Awards Foundation,
associated with the European Environment Agency. Close co-operation and
an intensive mutual exchange are to help environmental issues films,
film-makers and festivals to raise their profile. One step along this
road is the festival of festivals to be held in Berlin for the first
time. It will provide a broad platform to films that exhibit various
artistic approaches to issues involving the environment, nature and man
(and the links between them that are often dangerous).
Green Gongs
Billed as the biggest and the best, the Ecomove film festival which takes
place in Berlin, aims to showcase the cream of environmental films from
all over the world and bring together filmmakers from widely different
backgrounds. From documentary to fiction, shorts to features, nearly one
hundred films were screened at the Sony Centre in Berlin last December.
But this was very much a test case for all involved. Earth Report asks
did the partnership between sponsoring corporations and the
environmental film community work?
'Greenwash or Genuine Environmental Commitment?
Big global corporations like Sony and Volkswagen profess to strong
environmental commitments. They both have their own sponsored awards at
Ecomove. But is investing in a green film festival just good public
relations or a genuine pledge to spread the environmental message?
The 'greens' claim one problem is that sponsors don't want to focus on the
ecological problems. Instead they prefer to talk about the positive
results of their own environmental commitments, and gloss over the
larger issues at stake.
But it's a question of getting the message out, and the sponsors are
essential in bringing the environmental message to the mainstream
public.
The Festival of Festivals
The Ecomove festival brings together the best of six European film
festivals: Ambiente from Portugal, Green Vision from Russia, Oekomedia
from Germany, Prix Leonardo from Italy, Ekofilm from the Czech Republic,
and Envirofilm from Slovakia.
Ecomove will be held every two years in Berlin, and in intervening years
it will go on tour internationally.
Each film category has three nominations, pre-selected from over 200
contenders. The panel of judges includes famous filmmakers and
hi-powered environmental politicians.
And the Winner is...
"With the voices of children we have to bring these environmental problems
to adults because adults can't do everything themselves without the help
of children": The children's animation film Pontas - Black, Black Sea
from Georgia was made at a summer long workshop of a hundred
schoolchildren and their teacher.It was awarded best film in the open
category for its efforts to involve children in environmental issues.
"Steve completely forgot that he was 25 meters under water, surrounded by
wild predatory creatures": The Czech film The Moray Eel - An Ugly Beauty
portraying the unusual friendship between a diver and a Moray Eel - a
fish known to be brutal, ugly, and malicious. It won the award for best
documentary because, as the jusy says, it changes a common perspective
and addresses common fears of the unknown.
"Its impossible to feel what they must have gone through": Bhopal Express
is an Indian film about one of the most tragic man made disasters of all
time. In 1984 gas leaked from a tank of methyl isocyanate at a plant in
Bhopal, Madya Pradesh, killing or disabling thousands of people. The
story story is seen through the eyes of a newly-wed couple, and was
awarded the prize for best fiction.
"We must teach the young people to love and respect nature...": The new
Sony Award donated by Sony and Columbia Tristar awarded for young and
refreshing films that offer a new perspective to each and everyone in
their personal surroundings, films that motivate and encourage
engagement for the future went to Tommy and the Wildcat from Finland.
...and the others
"In the beginning it was a miracle, it solved a lot of problems, it
changed the health picture of the world...": Danish documentary The
Miraculous Poison looks at DDT, the world's most notorious pollutant.
This film is a trip through time and describes how DDT changed from a
blessing into a curse.
"...it was the most frightening horrific film I think I've probably ever
seen.": UK documentary Designer Babies was widely discussed at the
festival. Separating science and science fiction, it explores one of the
most disturbing possibilities that science offers us: the genetic
engineering of humans.
"We need to stop this logging before the logging destroys us...the men
don't understand this.": Since the Company Came, an Australian
documentary set in the South Pacific, looks at how a traditional
community copes with the changes brought about by a foreign company
logging their land. the new regime of money and power structures affect
the traditional structures, and in particular it challenges the
matriarchal power structures based on land ownership.
"I didn't want to make a film about what the politicians think about this
conflict. I wanted to show how people live there, how they work, how
they suffer, what deprives them of their economic opportunities.":
Cashmere, Kashmir, a Swiss documentary, traces the Kashmir fibre from
its producers through to the impact it has on the climate and wars. An
attempt to look at this war torn region from the grassroots perspective,
it paints a picture of a community left out of the globalized market.
Possible Partnerships?
Barbara Dubach of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
expresses that "...what we're all aiming for, whether its business,
governments, citizens, NGOs, is quality of life. The question is how we
achieve quality of life, and that can be through innovation, but also
through partnerships, different organizations working together."
There's no doubting both the environmentalists and the corporate sponsors
at Ecomove all want quality of life. But will they agree on the means to
get there? Watch out for Ecomove 2002!
