Os Polinizadores (2019)

Um entomologista comanda uma força-tarefa que tenta deter o avanço de abelhas assassinas, que vieram da África, ou Brasil, sendo mais fortes, resistentes e imunes para os pesticidas. Três ferroadas matam um adulto. Enquanto não se acha uma solução, o número de vítimas aumenta assustadoramente.

De há três anos a esta parte as abelhas andam a morrer em todo o mundo. Embora as causas ainda continuem a ser um mistério, uma coisa é clara: está em causa algo mais do que a simples morte de uns quantos insectos e bem mais do que apenas uma questão de mel. Em busca de respostas, o filme embarca numa viagem para encontrar as pessoas cujas vidas dependem das abelhas: de um apicultor suíço que vive nos Alpes até aos gigantescos pomares de amendoeiras na Califórnia, passando por um investigador do cérebro das abelhas em Berlim, uma comerciante de pólen na China e as abelhas assassinas do deserto do Arizona. Todos referem o desaparecimento das abelhas. O filme fala-nos das suas vidas. E das nossas.

Narrado por Meryl Streep, o filme é um retrato íntimo e sem precedentes de borboletas, beija-flores, abelhas, morcegos e flores em uma celebração da vida. Um terço do abastecimento alimentar do mundo depende dessas incríveis – e cada vez mais ameaçadas – criaturas.

Giant killer bees attack scientists.

In 1923, Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist, philosopher & social innovator, predicted that in 80 to 100 years honeybees would collapse. Now, beekeepers around the United States and around the world are reporting an incredible loss of honeybees, a phenomenon deemed "Colony Collapse Disorder." This "pandemic" is indicated by bees disappearing in mass numbers from their hives with no clear single explanation. The queen is there, honey is there, but the bees are gone. For the first time, in an alarming inquiry into the insights behind Steiner's prediction QUEEN OF THE SUN: What Are the Bees Telling Us? investigates the long-term causes behind the dire global bee crisis through the eyes of biodynamic beekeepers, commercial beekeepers, scientists and philosophers.

Pluto is playing with a ball in the park when he mistakes a bubble gum machine for it. He tries briefly to get a gumball from the machine when a bee flies into the machine and carries a gumball off to his hive. Pluto goes after the hive and knocks it down; it's full of gumballs, which he eagerly scoops up and begins chewing. The bee returns and is understandably upset; he tracks down Pluto, but Pluto manages to defend himself with gum bubbles for quite a while. The bee manages to wrap the gum from one bubble around Pluto's legs, hobbling him. Finally, the bee flies into Pluto's mouth; Pluto blows a giant bubble around the bee, and when it explodes, they both fly into the air and land in a flower patch; the bee finally manages to sting Pluto (and, being a cartoon bee, lives through it).

The future of our food resources depends on one small insect - the western honey bee, or Apis mellifera. Indeed, it is the most important agricultural pollinator on our planet, given that one third of our food supply depends directly on pollination from bees. This documentary tells the story of a worldwide ecological disaster that has been waiting to happen for several generations.

"plant portals: breath" is an experimental meditation on the unspoken history many queer and trans people of colour carry daily, connecting bumblebees, colonial trauma, alternate universes and the complicated concept of "rest" to ask: Can nature heal us? Shot entirely on an iPhone, the film is intentional in imagining what is possible, and manifests a reality rooted in mindfulness.“

While dancing, bees tell each other stories about the world around them. People also claim a role in those stories, sometimes very close and intimate, sometimes distant and on an industrial scale.

As accomplished storytellers, they both give shape to their lives under the sun.
