The Artivist Film Tour kicks off its 2012 program at Columbia University with a medley of five Award Winning Short Films addressing the festival’s mission: Raising Awareness for Humanity, Animals, and the Environment through informative and inspiring international films. Ourprogram begins with an international travel through the USA, Philippines, Vietnam, the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean, and with a universal message of hope and determination.
We begin with “HOPE”, Directed by Catherine Margerine and based on the ideas of Native American storyteller, Willy Whitefeather. “Hope” illustrates the cause and effect of life out of balance, and suggests a new path to harmony. A beautiful collage of music, sound and images in a short story, rich with layers of meaning. Our Award Winning Short program ends with the film “TOGETHER: DANCING WITH SPINNER DOLPHINS”, Directed by Chisa Hidaka showcasing the mutual affection and shared excitement between two of the planet’s most creative creatures: a human dancer and a spinner dolphin. Shot in the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean, eye to eye, they dance together.
