The power of story is visceral in this human-focused collection: from the very oldest narratives of civilizations’ texts and music (Behold the EARTH), to the contemporary experiences of local filmmakers from around the world. The collection also includes essays on “living slow” (Sunrise DIARIES), plus profile shorts on the ocean and energy. All titles below available through BlueMarvel unless otherwise noted.
This collection of 104 powerfully placed-based international films, 8 to 20 minutes in length, are usually co-produced with a local filmmaker. In each, we follow one person -often a woman- struggling within the folds of her own culture or at the edge of another. Arts, sports, animals, families, citizen science, and work are popular themes. As is immigration. Very contemporary. Very global. Inquiries only.
Stories of communities solving their energy challenges. Titles include: Reviving the Freedom Mill, Islands in the Wind, Wood: The Story of America’s First Wood Fiber Insulation Mill, and Alnoba: Of Stone, Wood, and Glass.
