Movie Monthly: Inside Job

Submitted by RA on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 12:22

The face of the financial crisis has taken many forms, from people lining up outside banks desperate to get at their savings, to the dilapidation of newly built suburban homes that have been foreclosed on. Inside Job, a punch-packing documentary by San Francisco based Charles Ferguson, the director who previously picked through the wreckage of US Iraq policy in No End In Sight, goes straight to the top.

One of the less cut-and-dry eco docs at VIFF this year is Windfall (10th 12.40pm GR5; 13th 7pm GR1) a relentless attack on wind energy seen through the prism of a small town in upstate New York where industrial wind energy became a divisive local issue.

Vancouver International Film Festival Preview: Green Filmmakers See Red

Submitted by RA on Mon, 08/31/2009 - 23:52

The 16-day Vancouver International Film Festival gets underway on 1st October. If previous years are anything to go by, you can expect a programme bursting at the seams with world cinema, documentary, music and arthouse work from across the globe. In particular, with the Earth Summit in Copenhagen coming in December, expect festival artistic director Alan Franey to field a strand of hard-hitting environmental documentaries when the full VIFF programme goes live on 12th September.
