Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind“The Phantasmagoric Films of Miyazaki, Takahata and the Masters of Studio Ghibli” It’s 1,000 years after the fall of industrial society and colossal insects rule the Sea of Decay, an expanse of polluted wasteland slowly consuming the earth. Only Princess Nausicaä, a fearless wind-rider who shares an empathic bond with the natural world, can find the key to humanity’s salvation as endless war threatens everything she loves. A poignant and action-packed parable of pacifism and acceptance in desperate times.

The Miners' Hymns“Sounds of Summer: New Music Documentaries 2012” A powerful, visionary blend of music and image without narration, this is a collaboration between Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and American experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison. Morrison put together exquisite black-and-white archival footage of the extinct mining industry in northeastern England, and Jóhannsson wrote the score, a stately, slow-building, and hauntingly melodic composition for brass band, pipe organ, and electronics. Together they created a uniquely poetic requiem for a vanished way of life.
Bill Morrison. 2012. 52 m. UK. Icarus Films. 8:00 PM |
