    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01am THURSDAY 5 MAY 2016 BEYOND CINEMA AT SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL The 63rd Sydney Film Festival announces a new program of three FREE immersive experiences exploring cutting edge screen culture and new technologies, entitled Beyond Cinema, to debut at the Festival (8-19 June) across three Festival locations: the Festival Hub at Sydney’s Lower Town Hall, the University of New South Wales and Carriageworks. “The Festival’s new immersive program expands the Sydney Film Festival experience by presenting three new ways of creating and experiencing film, art and storytelling,” said Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “From virtual reality, to 360-degree 3D cinema, to a four-sided video art installation, the Festival encourages audiences to explore new worlds, new perspectives and new ways to enjoy film,” he said. At the heart of the Festival in Sydney’s Lower Town Hall, Down the Rabbit Hole – Virtual Reality at the Hub (9 – 19 June) will screen nine virtual reality films, from four Australian and five international filmmakers. Designed to enchant, inspire, thrill and ultimately change viewpoints, audiences will put virtual reality headsets to the test including Samsung Gear VR and Facebook’s new Oculus Rift. VR experiences include: a stroll along the streets of Havana (A History of Cuban Dance), going on stage with the Sydney Dance Company dancers (Stuck in the Middle with You), going inside the world of a cattle farmer and one of Australia's top saddle bronco riders (Warwick Gold - Australian Rodeo), falling down the rabbit hole and into a Lewis Carroll inspired music video (Fabulous Wonder.Land), finding out what it’s like to lose your sight (Notes On Blindness: Into Darkness), haunting an asylum (Madeleine), walking in the footsteps of a filmmaker’s army officer father in Chile’s Caravan of Death (Assent), experiencing the first ever fully hand-drawn VR experience (Drawing Room), and stepping into an animated encounter with a lonely rose (The Rose and I).

  • The Legal Status of Rodeo in New Zealand a Paper for the New Zealand Animal Law Association
    THE LEGAL STATUS OF RODEO IN NEW ZEALAND A PAPER FOR THE NEW ZEALAND ANIMAL LAW ASSOCIATION MARCH 2018 CATRIONA MACLENNAN | BARRISTER NZALA.ORG All New Zealand photos in this report are used by permission of the photographers, who wish to remain unnamed. These photos should not be reproduced in any capacity without the express permission of the photographers, which may be requested by contacting NZALA. Credits for Canada photos (pages 3, 8, 9, 77, 78, 87, 90 & back cover): Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals All other photos are stock images from rodeos internationally. COVER IMAGE: TAUPO RODEO, NZ, 2016 – ANIMAL WRESTLING. FOREWORD From a legal perspective, rodeo in New Zealand is somewhat of an anomaly. Like recreational hunting or animal racing, some rodeo practices cause animals to suffer pain or distress for human entertainment. Unlike hunting and racing, rodeo is not explicitly allowed by legislation and is thus susceptible to the legal definition of ill-treatment, along with its criminal ramifications. The legality of rodeo in New Zealand under existing legislation is hanging by the thread of public acceptability or, in legal terms, the ‘reasonable or necessary’ test. Growing criticism of rodeo in the public opinion provides good prospects our Judiciary may soon accept the view that the pain and distress inflicted on rodeo animals are unreasonable and unnecessary according to modern New Zealand community values. Since 2004, rodeo in New Zealand has been regulated within the confines of a Code of elfare.W The legality of the current Code and its compatibility with its primary legislation deserve serious consideration, especially in light of the 2015 amendments to the Animal Welfare Act 1999 and the growing body of scientific evidence about the pain and distress of animals in rodeos.

  • 450 Ejemplos Y + Acciones Prácticas De No Violencia
    450 ejemplos y + acciones prácticas de no violencia De la no violencia a la noviolencia “Además (o por debajo) de la Historia está la memoria, y la memoria es también patrimonio irrenunciable de los pueblos. Memoria es resistencia. La Historia tradicionalmente ha sido el relato de los vencedores y un sutil instrumento diseñado para controlarnos y vigilarnos. Lejos de esa concepción fosilizada que nos hace pensar en 'historia' como una suma de cosas inertes, ya muertas, la capacidad del relato de la memoria consiste en actualizar su vigencia a base de enlazar con la experiencia que generaciones de gente como nosotras y nosotros han ido atesorando, defendiendo y ofreciendo. Poner la experiencia a disposición es también un acto político, es seguir articulando redes mutuas, es hacer público un caudal de resistencia”. Josemi Lorenzo Arribas, “En legítima desobediencia”, 2001. Lo que tenéis delante es una recopilación realizada por Bidea Helburu de una amalgama de acciones no violentas, desobedientes, pacíficas, imaginativas... que forman parte de nuestra memoria colectiva. Las hay de boicot, de no colaboración, de desobediencia civil; las que dan alternativas o abren caminos, o las que proponen cerrarlos... Pero los hechos que se recogen tienen en común la acción y el empleo de medios no violentos, y escapan a la extrecha visión unidireccional de nuestra historia vista solamente desde la confrontación violenta. Todos estos casos y otros muchos que se han quedado fuera reflejan que hay más de una Historia, que hay muchas historias. No sólo es que haya aire fuera de los estrechos marcos armados, partidistas o de poltronas, sino que lo que hay está menos contaminado.

Vicepresidente: Cristián Leiva Castillo. Secretario General: Hernán Bonilla Virgilio. Tesorero: Gabriel Barros Solar. Directores: Adolfo Melo Arens. Fernando Middleton Weldt. Juan Pablo Mayol Bouchon. Jorge Gómez Díaz. Víctor Catán Dabike. Siguiendo la huella de los caballos 3 Prólogo Fueron cientos de años los necesarios para que naciera el rodeo como deporte nacional. Se conjugaron diversas y variadas circunstancias para esto. Por primera vez se escribe su trayectoria en forma de un documento único que va uniendo estos acontecimientos, muchas veces de la letra de los grandes narradores de Cristián Moreno Benavente cada época, entregando las diversas versiones para que Presidente cada lector se forme su propia opinión. Esperamos que se Federación del Rodeo Chileno convierta en un documento de estudio para las próximas generaciones. La Federación del Rodeo Chileno consideró una obligación traspasar a las presentes y futuras generaciones todos los hechos y vivencias de los actores que integran la gran familia del rodeo, que en este trabajo quedan reflejadas. La temática se desarrolla desde la formación de las variedades de caballos que llegaron a América que dieron origen al caballo chileno, y los hombres que con el correr del tiempo hicieron posible el nacimiento del huaso, como también de su artesanía y escuela de nuestro deporte campero. Es un gran honor para este Directorio que presido poder concretar este proyecto tan necesario y esperado por todos, será en adelante la columna vertebral que nos unirá siempre y que demuestra además toda la riqueza y sustentación de las tradiciones que significa el rodeo para la conservación de ellas.

  • 1999 Hall of Fame Inductee Garry Mcphee
    1999 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE GARRY MCPHEE The Australian Quarter Horse Association honours Garry McPhee with induction into the Hall of Fame. Garry McPhee has dominated rodeo since his arrival from New Zealand in 1965. He joined the Australian Rough Riders Association (later to be known as the Australian Professional Rodeo Association). In 1967 Garry McPhee purchased a horse called CHUCK from former Canadian, Mel Stephens at Teen Ranch near Sydney. Garry believes that Chuck was an infused Quarter Horse and it was this early association with a good horse that started Garry on his way to win 12 Australian Rodeo titles in five years. In the early 1970’s Garry and Cheryl McPhee (nee McTaggart) were both winning titles on “Molsie” (A-82), by Quarter Alman (R1-1204) by Mescal (imp) (Q-35) and it wasn’t until 1974 that Garry started riding a stout Del Mingo bred gelding registered under the name of Trapper (R1-8718). Garry first saw the big foal in Eddie Wilson’s paddock and was not impressed. The weanling later passed to Garry in a deal and was taken to Victoria where he finished growing. It didn’t take long for Garry to realise the potential of Trapper once he had some arena work with cattle. It’s now history that the gelding has gone on to win over $200,000 in both roping and steer wrestling contests in rodeos in five States. Garry showed extreme versatility, mastering both ends of the arena winning the 1971 Bull Riding Champion, Steer Wrestling and coveted All-Round Australian Champion.
