Helena of Sarayaku (2022)

Это очень личная работа, не столько про Грету-активистку, сколько про Грету-подростка. В кадрах она не только перемещается между конференциями и произносит речи, но и спорит с отцом, танцует в пустой комнате, получает школьный аттестат, читает комментарии в твиттере и смеётся над ними. Она прямолинейная, самостоятельная, с феноменальной памятью и особенным чувством юмора. Она «никогда не хотела быть популярной» (ее собственные слова) и чувствует себя некомфортно в путешествиях, вдали от семьи и любимых собак, но продолжает делать то, что считает самым важным: если у кого-то были сомнения в ее искренности, то после просмотра от них останется и следа.

Фильм о Джо Пендлтоне, футболисте команды Лос-Анджелеса, который по ошибке «досрочно» попадает на небеса. Чтобы «исправить» досадную оплошность, душу героя нужно срочно переместить в новую оболочку, поскольку тело Джо — уже кремировано. По воле ангела душа Пендлтона возвращается на Землю в теле другого человека — влиятельного магната-богача. К сожалению, несмотря на финансовые преимущества, новое положение сулит массу неприятностей; в первую очередь, Джо предстоит бороться с непреодолимым желанием вернуться на футбольное поле. Бедняге пришлось бы совсем плохо, если бы не встреча с красивой блондинкой, дом которой оказался под угрозой сноса из-за корпорации, которую, по воле судеб, возглавляет Джо.

For ancient Mayans, cocoa was as good as gold. For subsistence farmer Eladio Pop, his cocoa crops are the only riches he has to support his wife and 15 children. As he wields his machete with ease, slicing a path to his cocoa trees, the small jungle plot he cultivates in southern Belize remains pristine and wild. His dreams for his children to inherit the land and the traditions of their Mayan ancestors present a familiar challenge. The kids feel their father's philosophies don't fit into a global economy, so they're charting their own course. Rohan Fernando's direction tenderly displays a generational shift, causalities of progress in modern times and a man valiantly protecting an endangered culture. Breathtaking vistas of lush rainforests contrast with the urban dystopia that pulled Pop’s children away from him. Will one child return to carry on a waning way of life

WILD THINGS follows a new generation of environmental activists that are mobilising against forces more powerful than themselves and saying, enough. Armed only with mobiles phones, this growing army of eco warriors will do whatever it takes to save their futures from the ravages of climate change. From chaining themselves to coal trains, sitting high in the canopy of threatened rainforest or locking onto bulldozers, their non-violent tactics are designed to generate mass action with one finger tap. Against a backdrop of drought, fire and floods; we witness how today’s environmentalists are making a difference and explore connections with the past through the untold stories of previous campaigns.
