Miss Representation

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:17:15 +0000

Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. (2011)

Director: Jennifer Siebel Newsom

Live Simply So Others May Simply Live: Climate Change, Capitalism & Christian Discipleship (Student Submission)

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:40:09 +0000

Come and see: how people in the Decorah area are demonstrating sustainable decisions and lifestyles through raspberries, windmills, electric lawn mowers, clotheslines, and solar panels. This film was created by Luther student Kristi Holmberg during a summer research project on climate change, capitalism, and Christian discipleship under the supervision of Dr. Jim Martin-Schramm. In Holmberg’s search for a compelling, ethical, and sustainable vision for Christian discipleship, she was able to visit the homes of 13 people, see the way they live, and learn a little about their deepest beliefs, values, and motivations for living the way they do. The voices in this film present climate change as a social justice issue. They challenge Christians to wrestle with questions like, What does it mean to follow Jesus today? while offering hope, not despair, in response to climate change. But regardless of people’s beliefs and values, the film invites all to care—and even fail—as they enter into the messy, yet satisfying path towards sustainable-living. (2011)

Driftless

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:28:04 +0000

The thriving Midwestern family farm is no longer, having been choked by industrialized agriculture and replanted with subdivisions. A shifting economy, combined with an old-fashioned lifestyle that doesn’t translate from generation to generation, is forever altering the landscape. Carrying one camera and one lens, Frazier walks Iowa’s gravel roads, gets his feet wet in the milking barn, pulls up a stool in the small-town bar. Through black-and-white photographs, he makes a record of his own emotions as he travels through the state. What results is a complex portrait of a well-loved American landscape at a time of enormous cultural change.

In the small town of Wabowden, Northern Manitoba, two school teachers, Eleanor Woitowicz and Bonnie Monias, are empowering their students with the knowledge, discipline and skills to grow their own food sustainably in backyard gardens.

And This Is My Garden is an inspirational documentary film about the power of education to foster healthier lifestyles and the therapeutic affects of re-connecting youth & their elders to the earth. The film follows the teachers and their students for a season of planting, harvesting, preserving, and ultimately celebrating the fruits of their labour at the Mel Johnson School annual harvest display and community feast.

Sustainable, edible gardening addresses issues of Community Food Security, Empowerment, Environmental Improvement & and Chronic Disease Prevention. Along the way, the students improve academic achievement, develop a sense of responsibility, pride and accomplishment, and engage their elders to work toward building healthier communities and a sustainable future. The film addresses the larger issues affected by this innovative school gardening project, which literally breaks new ground in education and has the potential to change the way we live.

The success of the Mel Johnson School Gardening Project has been recognized by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, the David Suzuki Foundation, and Manitoba Conservation.

Last Mountain Farmers in the Carpathians (Submission)

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:04:25 +0000

Only a few mountain farmers are still leading an archaic life in the Carpathians, far away from roads and the achievements of modern time. The place is called Obcina, well hidden and is reachable only by foot. Family Cut, father, mother and son are living on top of the mountain. The father’s rare skills in butchering are well known in the valley. Their modest survival is guaranteed by their animals which are likewise their only wealth. In autumn the Cuts already have to prepare themselves for the long winter months. Flour, salt, sugar and other things have to be organized on the market. About seven families are living in Obcina during summer. In winter all the other farmers are leaving the inhospitable mountain place except family Cut. They affront the cold in their little farmhouse.

Together, We Grow Healthy Kids (Submission)

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:53:39 +0000

Many ingredients go into making healthy kids. Two of the most important are good food and physical activity. Most children today don’t get enough of either. The result is an increase in chronic illnesses, including Type II diabetes and childhood obesity. Schools are the public tables, at which many children eat two or even three meals a day. School is also a place that children spend a good portion of their waking hours. Research shows that transforming school food and increasing physical activity improves student health and academic performance, and lowers absenteeism. The NE Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative is helping 20 area schools meet the growing need to improve school wellness.

Producer: Flannery Cerbin, Northeast Iowa Food & Fitness Initiative

Hand Me Downs (Submission)

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:45:14 +0000

What are we leaving our children? “Hand Me Downs” asks this question by showing what happens when trash is passed from generation to generation and finally to a baby. It dramatizes what we are doing every day in this country and around the world: Leaving our trash for our children. The message is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Return”. Behind the titles is a shot of the land fill.

This film was inspired by a woman who drives a garbage truck and a recycling truck and asked the question “What the hell are these people who don’t recycle thinking? That the land fill is a bottomless pit? What are we leaving our children?” (2011)

Troubled Waters: A Mississippi River Story

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 22:34:28 +0000

The development of America’s bountiful heartland and its effect on the legendary Mississippi River are traced in this film. Knitting together federal energy, farm and environment policies against the back drop of the Mississippi River watershed, the film unifies these seemingly discrete entities into a coherent whole, helping viewers to grasp what is a profound truth – that a single drop of water in Minnesota is connected to the “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico. Through beautiful photography and inspiring narrative, it offers solutions to the river’s troubles, from upstream to the gulf and the difficulties it faces, providing fresh ideas and concrete solutions.
