2018 URANIUM FILM FESTIVAL IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST

THE INTERNATIONAL URANIUM FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS TO THE DINÉ NATION WITH ADDITIONAL SCREENINGS THROUGHOUT ARIZONA & NEW MEXICO

www.uraniumfilmfestival.org ::: The issue of nuclear power is not only an issue of the Navajo Nation, who suffered for decades because of uranium mining. All people should be informed about the risks of uranium, nuclear weapons and the whole nuclear fuel chain, states International Uranium Film Festival’s Director Norbert G. Suchanek. In an effort to keep people informed and aware, particularly during this critical time of escalating nuclear threats, the International Uranium Film Festival returns to the U.S. Southwest in 2018.

The schedule for the U.S. Southwest tour of the 2018 International Uranium Film Festival is as follows: 

WINDOW ROCK November 29th and 30th and December 1st, Navajo Nation Museum, Hwy 264 & Post Office Loop • FLAGSTAFF December 2nd, Northern AZ University, Native American Cultural Center, 318 W McCreary • ALBUQUERQUE December 6th, Guild Cinema, 3405 Central Ave • GRANTS December 7th, NM State University Campus, Martinez Hall, 1500 Third St • SANTA FE December 9th, Jean Cocteau Cinema, 418 Montezuma Ave • TUSCON December 12th, 6:30 pm at the YWCA Tucson, Frances McClelland Community Center 525 N. Bonita Ave

We are currently selecting the films which will comprise the International Uranium Film Festival. We encourage especially Native American and women filmmakers to send their films about uranium mining or any nuclear issue to the Festival. The selected films will be shown not only in the Navajo Nation Museum but also in venues in Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Grants, Santa Fe and Tuscon. The best productions will receive the Uranium Film Festival´s award in Window Rock.

We extend our most sincere gratitude to the Levinson Foundation for their support, making this Festival possible. Festival partners and co-organizers of the Uranium Film Festival in the American Southwest are the New Mexico Social Justice and Equity Institute, the SW Indigenous Uranium Forum and the Multicultural Alliance for a Safe Environment (MASE).

#Fukushima311: 26 FEB. PARIS – Pokaz filmu 'Pokrywa Słońca. Fukushima' | dyskusja po filmie

(facebook event page) Pokaz filmu 'Pokrywa Słońca. Fukushima' | dyskusja po filmie

Zapraszenie na pokaz filmu 'Pokrywa Słońca' kierujemy do Polonii francuskiej. 

Fukushima, 11 marca 2011

Czy tego dnia media dostarczyły Japończykom wszystkie fakty?
Dlaczego obywatele Japonii byli tak bezsilni wobec kryzysu atomowego?

11 marca 2011 roku Japonia doświadczyła największego kataklizmu od 140 lat. Wielka fala tsunami wdarła się na ląd, powodując zniszczenia w elektrowni jądrowej Fukushima i doprowadzając do najdroższej katastrofy naturalnej w historii kraju. Do atmosfery zostały uwolnione duże ilości materiału radioaktywnego, a promieniowanie na terenie elektrowni wzrosło ośmiokrotnie i zaczęło zagrażać reszcie świata.

Od katastrofy minęło kilka lat. W tym czasie pojawiło się na jej temat wiele książek, artykułów, raportów. Wydawało się, że okoliczności kryzysu są stopniowo wyjaśniane. Tymczasem publikacje okazały się taktycznym posunięciem, które miało na celu pogrzebanie problemu – Japończycy mieli o wszystkim zapomnieć.

Film relacjonuje pięć krytycznych dni po wielkim trzęsieniu ziemi oraz wybuchach w elektrowni jądrowej w Fukushimie z perspektywy biura szefa rządu. Bada napiętą i pełną emocji sytuację w obliczu chaosu i dezinformacji. Ukazuje kontrastujące postawy dziennikarzy i polityków. Dokumentalny charakter filmu przybliża tragedię mieszkańców ewakuowanych z okolic Fukushimy oraz zdezorientowanych Tokijczyków, bombardowanych sprzecznymi doniesieniami. Przedstawiając wydarzenia z różnych perspektyw, film uzmysławia siłę energii atomowej i kwestionuje jej wpływ na przyszłość – „gdzie jest prawda?”

STRESZCZENIE
11 marca 2011 roku wschodnia Japonia zostaje zniszczona w wyniku wielkiego trzęsienia ziemi. Tego dnia cały kraj musi stawić czoło skutkom katastrofy w elektrowni jądrowej w Fukushimie. Dochodzi do awarii systemów chłodzenia, a temperatura w reaktorach wciąż rośnie. Japonia staje w obliczu kryzysu porównywalnego z katastrofą nuklearną w Czarnobylu.
Elektrownia zamienia się w wielkiego, groźnego potwora. Naukowcy, zaskoczeni i zszokowani rozwojem wydarzeń, przyjmują błędne założenia i podejmują złe decyzje. Premier zostaje wrzucony w chaos informacyjny.
Tymczasem mieszkańcy są zmuszeni do porzucenia domów. Bomba zegarowa tyka, ale nikt nie potrafi znaleźć rozwiązania kryzysowej sytuacji. Katastrofa rozpoczyna się wybuchem w budynku reaktora 1, po którym następują kolejne, w reaktorze 2 i 3. Obliczanie bilansu zniszczeń trwa do dzisiaj.

BERLIN URANIUM FILM FESTIVAL STARTS SEPTEMBER 28

FROM RIO TO HOLLYWOOD AND BERLIN

50 years Palomares, 30 years Chernobyl, 5 years Fukushima: In April the Uranium Film Festival was for the first time guest in Hollywood’s famous Raleigh Studios, in May it showed 49 international atomic films at the Modern Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro, and now at the end of September the International Uranium Film Festival comes back to Berlin. 

From September 28th to October 2nd the in the world unique film festival will show movies and documentaries from around the world about nuclear power, uranium mining and radioactive hazards: from atomic waste to uranium ammunition. The festival will particularly remember the atomic disasters of Fukushima, Chernobyl and the nearly unknown nuclear accident of Palomares: On 17 January 1966 an B-52 bomber of the US collided with a tanker plane during mid-air refuelling over  Almeria in Southern Spain. The B-52 with four hydrogen bombs on board broke apart and exploded. The atomic bombs dropped over Palomares. See New York Times report: Even Without Detonation, 4 Hydrogen Bombs From ’66 Scar Spanish Village(link is external) 

The 2010 in Rio de Janeiro founded Uranium Film Festival is now in its sixth successful year and shows great movies about nuclear power and nuclear threats from around the world.  "The Uranium Film Festival is unique in that it tries to make this complex subject accessible to all. Films from around the world, film discussions and roundtables with experts deal with uranium mining, nuclear reactor disasters and the dangers of nuclear radioactive waste that has to be stored safely for thousands of years", says Jörg Sommer, Chairman of the German environmental Foundation and patron of the Uranium Film Festival in Berlin together with MP Klaus Mindrup and Casting Agent Uwe Buenker.

URANIUM? LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND!

-A Film Screening & Discussion About Uranium Mining-

Sunday November 16

7:00PM-9:00PM
@ Busboys & Poets (5th & K)
1025 5th St. NW Washington, DC 20001
Metro: Gallery Place/Chinatown

Join the discussion with experts and activists fighting the Nuclear Fuel Chain from Cradle to Grave. What can we learn from the history and what is at stake with uranium at this moment?

Film: The River That Harms
(Dir. Colleen Keane, 45 mins, 1987, United States)
This film documents the largest radioactive waste spill in U.S. history - a national tragedy that occurred on Diné (Navajo) lands that received little attention. With the sound of a thunderclap, 94 million gallons of radioactive waste broke through a United Nuclear Corporation storage dam in 1979 and poured into New Mexico’s Puerco River, the main water supply for the Diné people and a tributary of the major source of water for Los Angeles, California. To the Diné people, this event impacted their lands, their health and their economy and sends a prophetic warning for all humanity.

Co-sponsored by: Beyond Nuclear, Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Diné No Nukes, S.A.N.S., and Physicians for Social Responsibility.

11.2 SEA Pulse films presents A2-B-C the true story of Fukushima now

facebook.com/events/735065789892898/

SEA Pulse films will feature a new extraordinary award-winning documentary film, called A2-B-C (directed by Ian Thomas Ash), which focuses on the health effects many children in Fukushima, Japan are experiencing in the aftermath of the radiation exposures from the March 2011 triple nuclear meltdown. The film shows radiation hot spots in school yards, thyroid cysts diagnosis, radiation detectors on children’s backpacks, and government officials and even doctors who do not seem to care.

We believe that this is not just a problem for Japan. We believe that this is the world’s problem. With another nuclear accident likely happen in our future, we must to know what is to be expected when the nuclear industry cuts corners, regulators protect profits over people, and governments hide the facts and refuse to admit mistakes were made. This film will be followed by a small panel discussion and Q&A with audience. We are planning to have the director, Ian Thomas Ash to be Skype or phone to join the discussion!

Additional bonus features are Virtual Reality Underwater Experience film using 360 Heros and Oculus Rift (head-mounted display kit) created by the NOGI 2014 award-winner, Bill Macdonald, and a short film from Dolphin Dance Project followed by a live dance performance.

Wine and light Vegan lunch will be served. We kindly ask you to bring your own fork and cup to reduce trash.

"Abita", animated short film about Fukushima children who can't play outside because of the radioactivity. About their dreams and realities.

福島の子供たちが、放射能のため外で遊ぶことができない。 彼らの夢と現実について。

Kinder in Fukushima können auf Grund der radioaktiven Strahlung nicht mehr in der Natur spielen.Denn die Natur ist nicht dekontaminierbar.Dies ist nur eine Geschichte von 36.000 Kindern, die zu Hause bleiben und von ihrer Freiheit in der Natur träumen und die Wirklichkeit erleben.

International Uranium Film Festival coming to Southwest: Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Window Rock

By International Uranium Film Festival

Censored News

Film 'Four Corners National Sacrifice Area'

The International Uranium Film Festival is the world’s only traveling festival devoted to the entire Nuclear Fuel Chain, from uranium mining to nuclear power plants and the use of uranium bullets, from Hiroshima to Fukushima and Fallujah. Now the International Uranium Film Festival is coming to the birthplace of the nuclear age.

Rio de Janeiro / Albuquerque, NM – On November 27 and 28, 2013, the International Uranium Film Festival will make its premiere screening in the United States, starting in the Southwest with Albuquerque, New Mexico highlighting over 40 films from 15 countries which explore not only this radioactive element called “uranium”, but nuclear practices as well. These are documentary films, experimental and animated films, new comedies, fiction and science fiction films.


The Festival will make its way from Albuquerque to Santa Fe (Nov 30 and Dec 1 at Center For Contemporary Arts Cinematechque), Window Rock (Dec 2 -- 4 at Navajo Nation Museum) and finally in February 2014 to Washington D.C. and New York City.

"Each screening in the Southwest will have Point Persons on the ground and different programs featuring a different variety of the more than 40 films from the wide collection of the IUFF. These films bring to life what New Mexicans have experienced for decades from uranium mining to depleted uranium bullets", says Damacio Lopez, organizer of the IUFF in New Mexico.

The International Uranium Film Festival was founded 2010/11 in Rio de Janeiro. It is held each year in May/June in Rio de Janeiro´s famous Museum of Modern Art (MAM-Rio). The third IUFF took place at  MAM-Rio in Rio de Janeiro in May 2013. After the screenings in Rio de Janeiro the festival travels to other cities and countries with its best and most interesting films. It has been already in Germany (Berlin, Munich), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto) and India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad). Founder of IUFF Norbert G. Suchanek of Germany living in Brazil, will be present with Executive Director, Marcia Gomes de Oliveira of Brazil along with producers and directors of the films. The 3 screenings in New Mexico and Arizona are organized by a diverse group of volunteers working to bring films to the wide screen.

Presented by Santa Fe Art Institute
Held each year in Rio de Janeiro, this festival explores nuclear power, uranium mining, nuclear weapons and the health effects of radioactivity, while seeking to educate and activate the public. Founder-directors Norbert G. Suchanek and Marcia Gomes de Oliveira will present a selection of films and lead a discussion.

Sunday, December 1, time TBD Atomic Surplus: Nuclear Savage

"Stunning … An extraordinary documentary" –Huffington Post
Some use the term "savage" to refer to people from primitive cultures, but nuclear experimentation pushed savagery to new levels. In the 1950s, the U.S. conducted 67 atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands, vaporizing islands and exposing entire populations to fallout. The islanders on Rongelap received near fatal doses of radiation from one test, and were then moved onto a highly contaminated island to serve as human guinea pigs for 30 years, in an experiment conceived at Los Alamos. Santa Fe's Adam Horowitz, known locally as the builder of 'Fridgehenge,' spent 25 years collecting material—his own footage, archival clips, and unpublished secret documents—to create this unforgettable and ironic portrait of American cynicism, arrogance, and racism. Winner of festival awards in Paris, Chicago and Mexico City.

Eighteen months after the nuclear meltdown, children in Fukushima suffer from severe nosebleeds and are developing skin rashes and thyroid cysts.

[watch trailer]

Thursday 10/24, 4:40 PM (Session 23)

Director: Suzan Beraza
Producers: Judith Kohin, Michelle Maughan, Casey Nay

Description:

The promise of jobs from a proposed uranium mill has an economically devastated mining community in Colorado hopeful for the first time in decades. When environmentalists step in to stop the mill, pro-mill advocates are enraged. A debate ensues, pitting jobs against health and the environment. Without judgment, both sides of the issue are brought to life in heart-wrenching detail as the film follows conflicting visions for the future. The film offers no easy answers but aims instead to capture personal stories and paint a social portrait of the lives behind this nuanced and complex issue.
