Green Screen Film Festival 2016: Medulla Art Gallery Screenings

Green Screen 2016: The Big Picture

GREEN SCREEN is now a full Film Festival! The annual series that has brought movies on environmental and sustainability issues to local audiences since 2011 is now fully fledged, and this year’s schedule of activities (November 1-12) will offer much more than movies.

Sustain T&T, the not-for-profit organisation that produces Green Screen, has once again selected a slate of relevant, diverse, impactful and critically-acclaimed movies that are not to be missed.

This year’s theme is The Big Picture. A special event by the same name will invite environmental stakeholders and the public at large to take stock of issues such as sustainable development, waste and water management, food production and climate change, and assess the way forward to achieving desirable goals for the nation at large.

Free film screenings will take place at Medulla Art Gallery on Fitt St in Woodbrook, including a Q&A with Jorge Thielen Armand, director of Flor de la Mar, which looks at a community of fishermen fighting to protect the ruins of the first European city built in the Americas, on a remote Venezuelan island.

Night-Moves, Kelly Reichardt’s suspense thriller NIGHT MOVES follows three passionate environmentalists whose homegrown plot to blow up a controversial dam unravels into a journey of doubt, paranoia and unintended consequences.

Set against the ravishing, threatened natural beauty of Oregon, the film tracks step-by-relentless-step as quiet organic farmer Josh (Jesse Eisenberg, THE SOCIAL NETWORK), high society dropout Dena (Dakota Fanning, WAR OF THE WORLDS, the TWILIGHT saga) and adrenaline-driven ex-Marine Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard, BLUE JASMINE, “The Killing”) prepare, carry out and then experience the shocking fallout of what they hoped would be an attention-grabbing act of sabotage. Feeling they have been pushed to the limit by disregard for the local ecosystem, the trio is about to see their own personal limits tested.

As the tension mounts, the film touches on provocative moral questions about the underside of idealism and the modern collision of values and violence. But the story also veers increasingly inward, into the maelstrom of remorse, fear and panic that seeps through Josh, Dena and Hamon’s lives.

For Reichardt, who brings her distinctive voice to the thriller genre, the story is “not about politics but about people.” Josh, Dena and Harmon each have their reasons for blowing up the dam, but in the process, their political intentions turn hauntingly personal.
