Relatively unknown in Madagascar, these giants are currently threatened by deforestation. To study them, in the heart of their forests, Cyrille Cornu and Wilfrid Ramahafaly travel by pirogue, exploring 400 km of wild and isolated coastline in the southwest of Madagascar. The film chronicles the expedition. It reveals discoveries, encounters, scientific results of the two explorers, baobabs and landscapes that had mostly never been filmed or even photographed! https://vimeo.com/120159309 299 https://peacefestival.us/video/official-selection-liquid-borders/2016/05/15/ https://peacefestival.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/POSTER-2.webp Official Selection: Liquid Borders Liquid Borders: The documentary film finds its beginning, born out of the need to explore existing geographical and political boundaries of India, juxtaposed with, human, emotional and spiritual bridges. Geographically speaking, India is a peninsula. Three sides are flanked by water. Specifically the east, west and south. Incidentally, the north too, is serrated by mighty rivers. This makes boundaries of India fluid, inclusive and accessible to our neighbors. The same adjectives interpreted in the political jargon means, menace of porosity, infiltration and threat to security. The magnitude and the irony of this dichotomy is the need to address this subject, as a film. In a sometimes dark and hopeless world, we need stories reminding us of the constructive options that are always present. The film is to engage, enthuse and envision a new-found look at liquid borders. https://youtu.be/KR0F-TWfSwM 103 https://peacefestival.us/video/2015-trailers/official-selection-the-falling-leaf/2016/05/15/ https://peacefestival.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TFL_Screen11-615x346.webp The Falling Leaf An animated short film created by students at the University of Central Florida in the 2015 Experimental Animation graduating class. https://youtu.be/wIbfwtcaJ08 240 https://peacefestival.us/video/2020-trailers/official-selection-the-cycle-rickshaw/2019/11/13/ https://peacefestival.us/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/rickshaw-768x432.webp The Cycle Rickshaw An ageing widow bids her son goodbye as he sets out on his cycle rickshaw.
