ANTHROPOCENE: THE HUMAN EPOCH
At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch witnesses, in an experiential sense, a critical moment in geological history – delivering a provocative and unforgettable account of our species’ breadth and impact.
CONVICTION
Alarmed by the rising number of women in prison worldwide, three filmmakers ask a group of women in prison to imagine a radically different kind of society that supports and nurtures – instead of punishing – the most vulnerable among us.
THE KLABONA KEEPERS
The Klabona Keepers have blockaded roads, shut down camps, and created such immense public pressure that two massive mining companies have pulled their mining operations from the region. This is the story of a community protecting their land.
THE WORLD IS BRIGHT
The Dengs and their personal journey expose the vulnerability to mental illness that the act of immigration creates. Their negotiations with their relationship, different cultures, grief and family penetrate to the heart of the immigrant experience.
“[The Impact Lab] really did feel like a giant hug and very nurturing experience. Loved brainstorming with fellow filmmakers - feeding off the talent, dedication and inspirational work of others.”
“The [Pitch Lab] peer feedback process was immensely helpful, open and supportive. I think everyone felt free to offer their opinions which is a reflection of the moderation.”
“What makes [Good Pitch] great is the year of work put in behind the scenes to dig up, explore and curate those connections well in advance so they have a chance to grow organically, and exponentially, on the day.”
