CHAPTER XI : SLOW FOOD


Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Today, it has over 85,000 members in 132 countries.

CHAPTER IX : ONE TWO


Justyna Mielnikiewicz

While writing in Tbilisi, Georgia for several months, I filmed the kittens every day for two months wondering how that story would evolve. There were several large demonstrations against the government. I filmed some of them too and saw and felt the despair. Tens months later Russia invaded Georgia.

Paul, who is in the film, has a blog that you may want to check out The Tbilissi Blues

CHAPTER II : NO SOUL

Alba Festival - video
No Soul is an example of a scene that would be much shorter in a traditional film.
Imagine how different the effect would be if this scene was filmed by a surveillance camera.

CHAPTER II : SUNNY DAY FOR A RIOT

Sunny Day for a riot - video
The Swastika is a horrifically powerful symbol and seems out of place in the USA.
It’s dangerous because the “powers” that have ruined this country scoff at it but are the ones who should be wearing them.





Andres Duque from Barcelona send us our first video comment take  a look...

CHAPTER I : HOLY YEAR 2000


Holy Year 2000 was filmed in Zakopane, Poland.
I woke up, 1999 was behind me, I had a terrible hangover after a night of vodka, in fact I was drunk but the world was still there! The Y2K computer bug that was supposed to ruin the world never came to life. I went back to sleep for a few more hours.

CHAPTER I : SNOW


Snow, made in Canada, directed by Hakan Sahin, won the prize for best film in the Alba film festival. I liked it a lot. An example of regional cinema about a subject close to the filmmaker’s heart. Is it best to write these chapter blogs, like captions for photograph?

CHAPTER I : WHY


Why was filmed during the Alba film festival. Kim and Orin Domenico were part of a press conference. Even though I make documentaries sometimes I set up situations to see what will happen - documentary constructions deconstruct truth and lies.

CHAPTER I : 504


Would it make a difference if people knew why the Federal government is giving away taxpayer’s money to Wall Street? I went to Wall Street to see if I can film what was in fact invisible, the truth.

WHAT IS CAMERAWAR

we (should) own our image(s)

The 21st century started with a sigh of relief when a predicted computer glitch that had threatened to wreak havoc around the world failed to materialize. The media trumpeted Francis Fukuyama’s thesis that history was at an end and we were about to enter into a steady safe environment that would leave the conflicts of the previous century behind. History however, was not about to be put to sleep so easily. The events of 9/11 and its aftermath have brought the past roaring back with a vengeance.

The vastly complex issues we now face are “out of proportion” to what can be addressed in a single, traditional movie. Reality itself has to be re-arranged to make sense of our world. Theatrical distribution of such an undertaking would be impossible and the television networks are bought and paid for by the very corporations that are complicit in the crisis – thus, CAMERAWAR.TV.

New "film chapters" are posted on this site every Monday. A director’s blog with viewer comments accompanies each entry. Later we will release a film in cinemas and this Internet site and the film, together, will tell a new kind of story currently unavailable to the public.
