La zona marina ofrece también una amplia variedad de ambientes con arrecifes coralinos, plataformas costeras, praderas marinas y zonas de aguas más profundas. Este despliegue de espacios alberga más de 5,600 especies de plantas, 168 de algas, 399 de peces, 65 de anfibios, 146 de reptiles y 48 de mamíferos. Realmente una variada flora y fauna que, junto a la de Cuba, sitúa a la República Dominicana en la cima de la biodiversidad del Caribe Insular. Esta insularidad, el aislamiento geográfico, es probablemente lo que favorece su alto grado de endemismo, que se sitúa en el 36% de las plantas, el 97% de los anfibios y el 94% de los reptiles. La exuberancia que exibe esta riqueda ofrece una belleza incomparable. La protección y conservación de este legado es una gran responsabilidad para instituciones, politicos, sociedad civil e incluso para la ciudadanía, pero es también un gran recurso para la economía del país y el sustento de sus habitantes. La ecuación entre la protección, la explotación y el desarrollo sostenible de estos recursos presenta un equilibrio difícil de mantener pero que nosotros tomamos con entusiasmo y energía como una oportunidad de desarrollo y progreso. Convocatorias como la Muestra de Cine Medioambiental Dominicana ofrecen una escasa oportunidad para que todos los actores de esta ecuación interactúen, se motiven y compartan innovadoras propuestas que salvaguarden esta riqueza y la conserven de forma sostenible para disfrute y beneficio de los ciudadanos y de generaciones venideras. www.muestracinemedioambientaldominicana.org The Dominican Republic has been blessed with an exceptional wealth of biodiversity, which encompasses 12 different geographic regions, and four mountain ranges with altitudes over 3000 meters. The country’s marine ecosystem also presents a wide variety of environments such as coral reefs, coastal platforms, marine prairies and deep-bottom areas. These unique habitats are home to 5,600 plant species, 168 algae, 399 fish, 65 amphibians, 146 reptiles, and 48 mammals. This high diversity of flora and fauna places the Dominican Republic, alongside Cuba, at the summit of insular Caribbean biodiversity. It is very probable that the country’s abundance of endemic species is directly linked to its geographical isolation. 36% of all plant species, 97% of all amphibious species and 94% of all reptile species are considered endemic. This treasure trove of endemism also enshrouds the country with extraordinary beauty. The protection and conservation of this natural legacy represents a great responsibility, as well as a great economic resource for institutions, elected politicians, civil society and the population at large. Achieving optional protection, exploitation and a sustainable development of these resources is a delicate balance, not easily maintained, but a challenge that we assume with enthusiasm. Gatherings as the Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) present a valuable opportunity in which stakeholders from all sides of the equation can come together to share ideas and proposals aimed at conserving the environment for the benefit and enjoyment of generations to come. 6 www.muestracinemedioambientaldominicana.org Equipo de trabajo SSStaffTT AA- FFFF SS T T A A F F F F F F F F A A S T S T Dirección y equipoStaff de trabajo 10 www.muestracinemedioambientaldominicana.org 11 Presidente/President Directora/ Leonel Fernández Director Natasha Despotovic Comité Asesor Nacional/ National Advisory Directora de relaciones Committee institucionales/ Adolfo López Institutional Relations Director Cesareo Guillermo Asunción Sanz Ernesto Reyna Fernando Báez Directora de operaciones/ Ginny Heinsen Chief Operations Officer Idelissa Bonnelly Yamile Eusebio Jake Kheel Karen Pannocchia Directora de medios digitales y Marialicia Urbaneja materiales impresos / Omar Ramírez Digital Media & Print Omar Shamir Reynoso Material Director Oswaldo Vásquez Semiramis de Miranda Patricia Cardona Roberto Llerena Directora de programación/ Ydalia Aceveda Monegro Programming Director Yolanda León Emy Rodríguez Comité Asesor Internacional/ Directora de comunicaciones/ International Advisory Communication Director Committee Elina Cruz Charlotte Vick Debbie Kinder Director administrativo/ Fabien Cousteau Financial Director Peter O'Brien Ramón Cruz Coordinadoras de Tráfico y movimiento paneles/ de película/Film Traffic Panels Coordinators Alexandra Tabar Margaret Hayward Ana de la Cruz Coordinación con Diana Murcia cineastas/ Cristiana Cruz Minier Filmmaker Liaison Mandy Sciachitano Coordinadora multimedia y de talleres Asistentes de Multimedia Workshop Manager & Multimedia Assistants Multimedia Coordinator Braudin Eusebio Alexandra Tabar Sergio Díaz Coordinadora de Asistentes administrativos Eventos Especiales Administrative Assistants Special Events Coordinator Kenia Hernández Janny Sánchez Anna Marie Polack Coordinadoras de Asistentes de comunicaciones excursiones Communication Assistant Excursion Coordinators Jenny Almonte Mélida Ceballos Karina Arias Pamely Hernández www.muestracinemedioambientaldominicana.org Diseñador Gráfico de Apoyo General Materiales Impresos General Support Graphic Designer of Printed Esmelda Abreu Material Leonesa Méndez María Montas Reyna Mendoza (Santiago) Marta Massano Reydi Moreta Pamely Hernández Diseñador Página Web Web Designer Voluntarios Jonathan Grullón Volunteers Esperanza Verde Asistentes Web Web Assistants Con apoyo y Regina Sánchez colaboración With support and Premio Globo Verde Collaboration from Dominicano Instituto Global de Globo Verde Multimedia (IGM) y Dominicano Award Departamiento Alexandra Tabar Audiovisual de Braudin Eusebio FUNGLODE Fotógrafos Representantes Photographers culturales en / Anne Casalé Cultural Apolinar Moreno Representatives in Traductores de Santiago: material escrito Centro Cultural Eduardo León Translators of Print Jimenes, Luis Felipe Rodríguez Material lala Silvia Gitiérrez PUNTACANA: Maureen Meehan Candy Gomez, Carla Patricia María Mejía Valbuena Matheus Subtítulos / Subtitles Santo Domingo: Boris Ivan Crespo • UNPHU: José Rafael Espaillat the Festival Asistentes de operación • Centro Cultural Narciso MuestraMuestra - Operation Assistant González: Basilio Nova Catherine Florentino Marielly Gallardo Puerto Plata: Arsenia Miranda • Cluster Turístico de María Victoria Acosta Puerto Plata: Jakaira Cid • Asoc.

  • Mark Ivanir | Biography
    MARK IVANIR | BIOGRAPHY Mark Ivanir has been working as a professional film and television actor in Los Angeles since 2001. His first major film role was in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winning epic SCHINDLER'S LIST. He rejoined with Spielberg twice, first for a cameo appearance in TERMINAL, then again for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. A pivotal role in Robert De Niro's 2006 film, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, landed Mark a role in Barry Levinson's WHAT JUST HAPPENED, this time acting alongside De Niro. Many films followed. Mark has booked over 35 Guest Star and Guest Lead roles on television. Ivanir's road to Hollywood was circuitous at best. Born in the communist Ukraine, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1972. After being cast by Spielberg in SCHINDLER'S LIST, Ivanir moved to London to study with Philippe Gaulier and the actors of the Theater De Complicite. During this stint, he landed roles in THE MAN WHO CRIED (with Johnny Depp) and SECRET AFFAIR which encouraged him to relocate to Hollywood. Ever since, Mark has been working on films in the US, in Europe and in Israel. In Germany he has been working with Dennis Gansel on THE FOURTH STATE and with Dominik Graf on the highly acclaimed mini-series IN THE FACE OF THE CRIME. In Europe, Mark was also working with Fernando Meirelles on his episodic feature film 360. Most recently, Mark co-starred alongside Catherine Keener, Philipp Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken in A LATE QUARTET. Mark currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.

  • Movie Review: Big Miracle
    Movie Review: Big Miracle By Joseph McAleer Catholic News Service NEW YORK –“Free Willy,” the 1993 whale rescue film, looks like child’s play when compared to “Big Miracle” (Universal), in which not one but three giant mammals are trapped in Arctic ice, and it takes a whole lot more than a sleepy Alaskan town to save them. Directed by Ken Kwapis – and based on the real-life events recounted in Thomas Rose’s 1989 book “Freeing the Whales” – the film is an animal rights activist’s dream. Families, neighbors, corporations, and even superpowers set aside their differences for a spell and work together, seeing in the innocent cetaceans a metaphor for peace and understanding. It’s 1988, and television reporter Adam Carlson (John Krasinski) is biding his time in Alaska, hoping to land the really big story that will serve as his ticket to a better job in the Lower 48. Knocking about the desolate town of Barrow with local Inupiat boy Nathan (Ahmaogak Sweeney), Carlson stumbles on a hole in the offshore ice. Within it he finds a headline waiting to happen: Peeking out as they surface for air is the cutest family of California gray whales you’ve ever seen, a clan Carlson eventually names after television’s Flintstones: Fred, Wilma, and Bamm-Bamm (not Pebbles, as the baby is a boy, you see). Their migration south was halted due to freezing ice. Trapped five miles from open water, they’ll drown unless something is done to free them. Carlson files his story – and catches the attention of NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw who is – so Jack Amiel and Michael Begler’s script informs us – “a sucker for these animal stories.” Carlson’s piece is broadcast nationally, and overnight the world takes notice.

  • Cliff Eidelman
    CLIFF EIDELMAN SELECTED CREDITS BIG MIRACLE (2012) HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (2009) SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS (2005) ONE TRUE THING (1998) STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991) BIOGRAPHY Composer Cliff Eidelman’s breakthrough came with his score ‘Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country’ (1991), a stylish and powerful score that elicited a great deal of attention and acclaim. ‘Star Trek VI’ continues to not only be a favorite among fans but is rated in the top 30 best film scores on Filmtracks.com, which has a viewer rating of 1,500 film scores spanning several decades. By the age of 24, Eidelman had composed a number of epic symphonic scores including the powerful Holocaust drama ‘Triumph of the Spirit’ (1989) and ‘Christopher Columbus’ (1992). Eidelman first ventured into comedy with back-to-back films ‘Crazy People’ (1990) and ‘Delirious’ (1990). Later, he explored different approaches, often using a pared down orchestra, chamber orchestra, or a few chosen instruments to capture the intricacies of such character driven films as: ‘Untamed Heart’ (1992), ‘Leap of Faith’ (1992), ‘A Simple Twist of Fate’ (1994), ‘Now and Then’ (1995), the highest rated HBO film ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ (1996), ‘One True Thing’ (1998), ‘Witness Protection’ (1999), ‘An American Rhapsody’ (2001), the IMAX film’ Ocean Men’ (2001), ‘Harrison’s Flowers’ (2001), ‘Sexual Life’ (2004), ‘The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants’ (2005), ‘Open Window’ (2006), ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ (2009) and ‘Big Miracle’ (2012) which is Eidelman’s fifth collaboration with director Ken Kwapis. Eidelman’s concert works include Night in the Gallery, which was written for chamber ensemble and inspired by masterwork paintings, a large-scale new Symphony for Orchestra and Two Pianos and The Five Tales, a set of new piano pieces.

  • Working Title Films and Transatlantic British Cinema Nathaniel
    Working Title Films and Transatlantic British Cinema Nathaniel Townsend PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2014 2 Abstract This thesis presents a business history of the London-based film production company, Working Title Films. The focus is on the creative and business structures and processes through which Working Title has operated and, in turn, the individual and collective agency of the key players responsible for developing and maintaining these institutional determinants. The same set of research questions are applied to the principal filmmaking institutions with which Working Title has collaborated, and, more particularly, examines how Working Title has negotiated creative and business relationships with various larger film businesses. By taking a chronological approach to Working Title’s evolution, a detailed account of the company’s years as an independent production company (1984-1990), a subsidiary of PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (1990-1998) and a subsidiary of Universal Pictures (1998-present) is provided. The thesis also offers a historical and conceptual framework through which the business history of Working Title is analysed. In the first instance, this involves a reconsideration of the relationship between the film industries and cultures of Britain and Hollywood which combines the discourses of national cinema with more recent scholarship about transnational cinema. This conceptual reinterpretation is subsequently applied to three indicative business histories from the 1930s and 1940s: London Films, MGM-British and the Rank Organisation — and then to Working Title itself. The central concept of the thesis — ‘Transatlantic British Cinema’ — describes a type of cultural production that challenges orthodox accounts of British cinema as national cinema and indicates the ways in which representations of Britain and ‘Britishness’ function within transnational film culture.

  • A BUG's LIFE Big Miracle
    A BUG’SBig Miracle LIFE Synopsis Inspired by the incredible true story that touched the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of an animal-loving volunteer (Golden Globe winner Drew Barrymore) and a small-town news reporter (John Krasinski) who are joined by a native Alaskan boy (new- comer Ahmaogak Sweeney) to rally an entire community—and eventually rival world super- powers—to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe for two weeks, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to an unexpected, momentary thaw in the Cold War. Discussion Questions • What is Rachel’s job? What does Greenpeace do? Thinking about her goals in the film, what do you think are her primary motivations for helping to save the whales? • What is J.W. McGraw’s job? What are his main goals in running his oil company? What are his motivations for changing his mind and helping to save the whales? • What is Adam’s job? Why is he so excited, at first, about the story of the whales? Do you think that his moti- vations change as the film progresses, from only wanting a great story so he can get a better job to actually caring about the animals? • What is it about the whales that make the people in the film want to help them? Why does Rachel care so much about the animals? Why do people and families across the country become emotionally involved in the outcome of the story? Do you think people would have been so involved if a different kind of animal were trapped in a similar way? • The importance of media plays a very big role in the movie.
