FESTIWAL PRZEMIANY (PRZEMIANY FESTIVAL)
3 documentaries:
GOING CIRCULAR
Watchable. The introduction is protracted. The view of Gaia restructuring mostly just 2 materials is inspirational. The innovators' life stories are fun.
STRAY
Watchable. The highs and lows of being a stray. Canine or human. Philosophical quotes and free-of-commentary pictures follow dogs through crowded and noisy streets. It doesn't teach you any more than what you know about dogs already, more about people rather. The pooches are cute. Poor music, dimmed light make the picture grim though. The finale, along with the end credits, is disarming - a dog responds to a muezzin's call with howling.
REJSEN TIL UTOPIA (JOURNEY TO UTOPIA)
Watchable. I couldn't help thinking it wouldn't have worked in Poland. Going through with the decision and investment required enormous trust in others. So did creating a community. An impressive cultural difference on the one hand and some food for thought regarding the amount of effort and money needed to create sustainable living. The film starts like a family story but quickly turns into a gripping almost-thriller as you witness delays and a string of other issues.
