LAST YOIK IN SAAMI FORESTS? 59 min. 2007 Finland (filmed in Finland and Norway) The documentary chronicles the logging damage that has taken place in the forests of Finnish Lapland over the past 50 years. Home to the indigenous Saami peoples, these forests are essential to Saami reindeer herding, a traditional way of life that the Saami hope to continue into future generations. Population growth in Finland has created economic pressure – prompting migration to the Saami lands in the North. The resulting forest cutting severely depletes the lichen necessary for free reindeer grazing, and logging infrastructure disrupts the entire forest ecosystem. The film shows a state-owned logging company Metsahallitus in the exploitation of Saami resources, and shows that the Finnish government has done little to preserve this natural resource. The issue of indigenous land rights is the heart of the problem, and till the completion of this film in 2007, it remains unresolved.

Autor Hannu Hyvönen Hannu Hyvöneni dokfilm muretseb Lapimaa metsade saatuse pärast. Metsatööstuse üha tugevnev surve hävitab elukeskkonna, mis aastasadu on olnud saamide ja põhjapõtrade päriskoduks. Filmi autori seisukoht on väga kriitiline Soome valitsuse suhtes, kes ei kaitse piisavalt rahvuslikku vara – metsa. MAKING RAIN 58 min. 2007 Estonia/Norway/Mozambique (filmed in Mozambique) The Vumba Hills in central Mozambique, close to the Zimbabwe border, are the kingdom of Mambo (Chief) Chirara. The Mambo’s leading position is acknowledged by the government, and in addition to being the region’s most important spiritual leader, the Mambo has the right to hold court cases that deal with minor crimes, problems involving spirits and domestic affairs. He is assisted by several subchiefs and ritual leaders. In the northernmost corner of the Mambo’s kingdom, Mbuya Gondo, an over 70-years-old woman, is a spiritual medium. She often holds ceremonies at a well-known rock drawing site. Mambo Chirara is not pleased with the old lady’s activities. In his opinion, Mbuya Gondo acts too independently and demands too much money for carrying out the ceremonies. In the film, gender issues and local politics are brought to the surface as we follow these two leaders during a period of preparing for and performing the annual rainmaking rituals.

Mambot kui pealikku tunnustab ka valitsus ja nii on Mambol õigus mõista kohut kui küsimus puudutab väiksemaid kuritegusid, vaimudega seotud lugusid ja koduseid juhtumeid. Mambot abistavad mitmed asepealikud ja rituaalsed juhid. Mambo kuningriigi põhjaosas elab šamaan Mbuya Gondo, üle seitsmekümnene naine. Ta peab tihti talitusi tuntud kaljujooniste juures. Mambo Chirara ei ole vana naise tegevusega rahul. Tema arvates tegutseb Mbuya Gondo liiga isesesisvalt ja nõuab pühade talituste eest lubamatult kõrget tasu. Filmi autorid Frode Storaas ja Liivo Niglas jälgisid kaht liidrit ajal, mil nad valmistusid ja viisid läbi iga-aastaseid vihmategemise talitusi. MARIA LIONZA, BREATH OF ORCHIDS 81 min. 2007 Venezuela Directed by John Petrizzelli Photographed by Rubén Belfort Edited by Miguel Ángel Garcí Sound by Frank Rojas and Danny Rojas Produced by John Petrizzelli World sales/contact: Centro Nacional Autonomo de Cinematografia (CNAC), Francisco de Miranda Con Calle Los Laboratorios, Centro Empresarial Quorum, Piso 1, Ofic. 1-F, Los Ruices, Caracas 1071, Venezuela Tel./Fax +58 2122352194 festivalesint@cnac.gob.ve The history of an indigenous princess kidnapped by an anaconda is the point of item(game) of this documentary that explores the myth and Maria Lionza’s worship, always in transformation from the colonial times. The documentary raises the multiple facets of the myth and of the worship, without obviating any of these in spite of the fact that differences could arise, up to contradictions in the beliefs. The absence of dogma and universal creed to the worship, they constitute the essence of this magic – religious universe. The peregrinate of a group of believers of different environments to Sorte’s mountain, Maria Lionza’s kingdom, offers to know personal histories, motivations and vision of the spiritual phenomenon, humanizing and personalizing the devotion to the goddess. The summation of the peregrinate up to the top of the mountain, our history, the pilgrims as well as the investigation on the iconography of the myth and of the worship, brings us nearer to an eclectic and permeable Maria Lionza who has managed to survive and to adapt for more of 500 years, symbolizing the spirit of the deepest and why not, genuine Venezuela. MARIA LIONZA, ORHIDEEDE HINGUS Autor John Petrizzelli Müüt Maria Lionzast, Venetsueela põlisrahva printsessist, on küllaltki laialt levinud Sorte mägedes. Juba koloniaalaja algusest peale räägitakse ja usutakse siin lugu kaunist naisest, kelle röövis anakonda. Palverännakud Maria Lionza kuju juurde kestavad tänaseni ning räägivad rahva usust imedesse. John Petrizelli film on põhjalik uurimus ühe usu metamorfoosidest. 14
MY LIFE WITH ORANGUTANS 58 min. 2007 Denmark (filmed in Indonesia) Deep in the middle of Borneo’s jungle lives a woman who has become the mother of 600 orangutans. She has dedicated her life to the charismatic animals which are among one of the world’s most endangered animal species, and she has been struggling hard for the survival of the orangutan for the past 13 years. Lone Dröscher Nielsen is the head of the world’s largest rehabilitation centre for orangutans. The purpose is to help apes, who have lived in captivity or held illegally as pets, ease their way back into nature. But it is a costly affair to run such a large centre and now that the primary sponsor has filed for bankruptcy, the centre finds itself in great economic difficulties. If they fail to find a new sponsor within the near future, Lone is forced to give up her life’s work. MU ELU KOOS ORANGUTANGIDEGA Autor Anna Katrin Nørgaard Sügaval Borneo džunglis elab Lone Dröscher Nielsen, kes on suure osa oma elust kulutanud selleks, et taastada orangutangidele elukõblik looduskeskkond. Selle tubli naise hoole all on üle 600 orangutangi, keda on varem peetud illegaalselt koduloomadena. Orangutangid on kõrge intellektiga karismaatilised olevused, kelle arvukus on vähenenud alla kriitilise piiri. Anna Katrin Nørgaardi dokfilm maalib sugestiivse pildi inimesest, kes püüab käigus hoida inimesele lähima imetaja taastuskeskust. Directed by Anna Katrin Nørgaard Photographed by Klaus Nedergaard Produced by Petter Åttingsberg- Danish Broadcasting Corporation World sales/contact: DR International Sales, DR Byen Emil Holm Kanal 20 DK 0999 Copenhagen C, Denmark Tel. +45 35203959 saar@dr.dk OAK #419 40 min. 2006 USA/Germany Oak #419 is about the protest movement led by John Quigley, who spent 71 days living in a 400 year old oak tree in Los Angeles County, to try to save it from being cut down for a new highway. The roadway is to lead to the next projected 20,000 housing unit development. The movement became much bigger than just this tree, receiving great media attention, and drawing a very diverse crowd: reporters and camera people, people in frog suits, Latino immigrants, Filippino immigrants, cheerleaders, Native Americans and even Santa Claus. Political folk musician Fred Starner, who participated in the protest, made the music for the film. The film is about someone having the courage to stand up for what he believes in, and about trying to reclaim democracy in today’s divided, neoconservative America. The tree became the “proverbial line in the sand” between nature, and the voracious urban sprawl of L.A. Can one weigh the value of nature against real estate development? What is “progress”? TAMM NR. 419 Autor Robert Harding Pittman Los Angelesi lähedale rajatava uue elurajooni juurde viiva tee ehitusele jääb ette 400-aasta vanune tamm. Arendaja tahab puud maha saagida, kuid ümbruskonna rahvas on kategooriliselt vastu. Protestijate eesotsas on John Quigley, kes veedab 71 päeva tamme okstel elades. Robert Hardin Pittman maalib haarava pildi sellest, kuidas protestilaine kasvab, kuidas tamme kaitseks astuvad välja mitmed rahvusgrupid, kuidas telekanalid annavad edasi folklaulja Fred Starneri protestilaule hiigeltamme kaitseks. Dramaatiline konfrontatsioon merkantiilse ja aatelise maailmavaate vahel lõpeb vana tamme kasuks ning sellest originaalsest lahendusest on palju õppida nii ametnikel kui arendajatel üle kogu maailma.

One day, against Kerstin’s will, Hans decides that they should create a feature wall in their summer house. Their inability to agree on the right colour and pattern has hindered all earlier attempts at renovation. Through their discussions, conversations and quarrels, we get an image of the couple’s entire life and relationship. A bright, loving, provocative and entertaining portrait. Who would have thought that an elderly couple and a wall might be so captivating! PARADIIS Autor Jerzy Sladkowski Hans ja Kerstin on olnud abielus juba 65 aastat. Ühel ilusal päeval otsustab Hans ilma Kerstinilt küsimata ära vahetada tapeedi nende ühises suvekodus. Järgneb kirglik vaidlus, milles avanevad kahe teineteist armastava inimese iseloomud. Jerzy Sladkowski film on üles võetud ja kokku pandud maheda huumoriga.
