FIFTEEN YEARS, SEEMS TO YESTERDAY (Envireonmental Film Festival) Review of Daniel Jordan

Even the Italian television with his Cinderella, directed by Carlo Verdone, made the world see in vision, much less the crisis could stop the flow of its many visitors paying a nominal price, which in these times it helps to support the 'long-awaited event: the Environmental Film Festival Cinemambiente 15 °, as always here in Turin (Italy). Numerous other initiatives to educate, sensitize and protect our world, making it more livable as possible. During the screenings there have been suggestions to do so. Cinemambiente, masterfully directed by Gaetano Capizzi, who has always believed in his project from its very beginning, organized by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin with the primary objective inherent in the current malaise of the planet and the environment. Fifteen years have passed since its first appearance, but has not changed one iota his goal, rather it has strengthened over time showing that together we can do more and better. The work done by Capizzi was meticulous. Perhaps the beginning of his long journey, he did not think the world could be sensitive to environmental directors, has had to reverse it, after having received so much material to be selected and this allowed him to continue the journey undertaken. The initial commitment was large, arduous, but ultimately their efforts have fallen short of expectations, the sponsors are on his side, this festival is going to last because it is the first in Europe is that environmental issues and not coincidentally coincides with World Environment Day, supported by UNEP (United Nations Environmental Programme) of the Festival is an official partner. In the six days of programming has witnessed a series of films in competition. The director Josh Tickell and Rebecca boldly presented - The Big Fix - winning film of this year, says the disaster of the properties of Brithis Petroleum platform off the coast of Mexico, multinational and tragedy silently shrugged off by Head of State , sanded, it is appropriate to say since most of the beaches were covered with sand to further hide the oil spilled, causing many economic problems, political and health to the inhabitants. It will be very difficult for this movie is screened in the States. In the past suffered the same fate in the film: The Cove, in Japan. A movie not to lose sight of the complaint. Speaking of climate change James Balog, National Geographic photographer, wants to capture with his shots, the retreat of glaciers due to global warming. With the film - Chasing Ice - Extreme Ice Survey project starts, placing many cameras at the North Pole, which will be triggered for a year storing photographs shot after shot retreat of glaciers on our planet (and also awarded two honorable mentions). Bravo also the director Jeff Orlowski espousing the cause that, Balog has followed throughout his career defying the less polar temperature of 40 degrees. The production is the same as The Cove, we recommend everyone to see them both. Tony Geraci, the name, maybe you can not say anything, but to eighty-three thousand students in Baltimore! Cook in New Orleans, head of the table for all city schools, create a project involving students, teachers, parents, farmers and chefs trying to change the food habits, eating healthy food, freshly prepared and packaged foods using , the director Richard Chisolm, was able to propose a prize with the winning films: The Man Cafeteria director Raffaella Bullo, with - farmers to be freed - wins a prize. It tells a story of organic farming, up to now nothing exceptional, but if the maintenance services of green areas, environmental education are backed up by people with mental disorders, who are trying by this to their own psychological rehabilitation, making it very well could be different our way of thinking. If you want to see the slaughter of the workers in the industry, following its chain, so the film's director Manuela Frèsil - Entrée du Personnel - is right for you, paying attention to the downside, as it may make the man a machine (remember the movie Modern Times Charlie Chaplin). Up Next: Little Land of Michele Trentini; The cruise director's banana peels Unless Manzone, The Well of Paolo Barbieri and Riccardo Russo, a praise to the film - Ciar cume of water Lamber - Elena Maggioni Federica Orrù and Hulda; a special award to the film's house tomorrow. Cinemambiente, does not stop here, before turning off the lights on the projector, wants to end the show with a spectacular film, premieres for Italy - Life in the oceans - the directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud is a journey along the marine life, takes us in the depths of the sea and their habitats, harmonious in its silences, made by sounds and colors that only mother nature can mix.
This is a story of what happened in Turin in six days of the Festival, this is what he has been able to give us Gaetano Capizzi, not alone but surrounded by a team of young people, prepared in their job to do, kind and always available the public, thanks to what is nothing short of play! This year the slogan recited, Nature & Smart, maybe it was better to write: Nature is intelligent ... but we are very intelligent ... This is a question everyone should ask! We do not just have to say to all those who attended the Festival and those who did not intervene: See you next year!
