Two complementary films about carbon dioxide and its impact on the environment
This Fall we are releasing two new films by Yves Billy, director of Strait through the Ice and Seeds of Hunger, about the issues surrounding carbon dioxide and its responsibility on climate change.Mr. CO2 focuses on the Copenhagen conference, the risks at hand, and the main offenders in terms of carbon dioxide production; while Post-Carbon Futures investigates the possible solutions found in sustainable green energies and the political and social implications of a more environmentally conscious system.Both films emphasize the inevitability of a need for change in the way we consume energy as climate change becomes a more pervasive issue across the globe.Labels: carbon dioxide, climate change, copenhagen conference, energy, environment, green, sustainablility

OUR DAILY BREAD Selected to Screen
at the 2006 New York Film Festival
We're very pleased to announce that the feature documentary OUR DAILY BREAD has been selected to screen at the prestigious New York Film Festival. This acclaimed, international prize winning film reveals the little-known world of high-tech agriculture. In a series of visually stunning, continuously tracking, wide-screen images that seem right out of a science-fiction movie, we see the places where food is cultivated and processed: surreal landscapes optimized for agricultural machinery, clean rooms in cool industrial buildings designed for maximum efficiency, and elaborate machines that operate on a 'disassembly line' basis.
