Following the success of last winter's Climate Journalism on Screen series, this new installment continues the exploration of how contemporary filmmakers address the myriad issues around climate change. It features new subjects, environments, and documentary techniques, presented in feature, mid-length, and short film form.
As temperatures rise and weather events become more extreme, the urgent need for numerous, specific forms of environmental stewardship grows. This issue is global, but the localized impact demands immediate solutions that are more discreet and tailored for different ecosystems. Access to clean water may mean fighting industrial negligence (Teenage Wasteland, Sallie's Ashes) and unchecked development (The Tempest of Neptun), or drawing on traditional modes of survival (Qotzuñi: People of the Lake, The Glacier Wedding). Wildfires in both urban and rural settings are the focus of two stylistically distinct films--the raw and electric All the Walls Came Down and the sensorially immersive Only on Earth.
Also screening in a new digital restoration fifty years after its release, Frederick Wiseman's Meat captures a transformational moment in the history of industrialized animal agriculture. The development of a revolutionary, scalable assembly-line process dramatically increased the world's appetite for beef that is more cost-effective, through a process that is more resource draining.
The series is presented in collaboration with the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Each screening will be accompanied by a post-screening discussion, some with the filmmakers, some drawing from the expertise of UC Berkeley faculty and researchers.
