The Trap
This poetic film weaves an unlikely connection between the hardy lifestyle of Cape Breton fishermen with the monastic tradition of Tibetan Buddhist nuns and monks of Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia. Every year the nuns and monks purchase the last catch of the lobster season and release them back to the wild. And, it’s this honoring of the cycle of life that brings the fishing community and Buddhist monastery together.
19 minutes, directed by Lina Verchery.
Varmints
A departure from our normal programming, this heavily awarded animated short story from England is such a unique film, our staff felt it needed to be shared! In the face of overwhelming industrialization and environmental recklessness, a small creature struggles to preserve a remnant of the peace he once knew. His selfless acts of love plant the seeds of change that will ultimately prove the world’s salvation.
24 minutes, directed by Marc Craste.
Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars
What does it take to stop a giant power company from building 19 coal-fired power plants, a plan fast-tracked by the Governor? Follow unlikely partners — mayors, ranchers, CEOs, community groups, legislators, lawyers, faith groups and citizens — as they fight a high-stakes battle for clean air, and redefine what it means to be an environmentalist. Demonstrating the power of the people, this film deftly frames the global challenge to find forward-thinking energy solutions that support local economies and protect public health.
34 minutes,Directed by Mat Hames & George Sledge.
Waste=Food
William McDonough, an American architect/designer, and Michael Braungart, a German ecological chemist, met at a Manhattan party and haven’t stopped talking — and the world has been a better place since. This innovative partnership engineered the concept of “cradle-to-cradle” versus “cradle-to-grave” manufacturing. Modeled after nature, products are designed to be recyclable or completely biodegrade once discarded. The film shows this ecologically inspired industrial revolution in action from a textile plant using biodegradable waste to mulch strawberries to whole cities being built in rural China. Your shopping list will never be the same!
51 minutes, Directed by Rob van Hattum.
