    SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK Press material www.shadowoftheholybook.com www.freedomforsale.org Why are some of the world's biggest international companies translating the Ruhnama, an absurd government propaganda book from Turkmenistan, into their own languages? SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK exposes the immorality of international companies doing business with the dictatorship of oil-and-gas-rich Turkmenistan, thus helping to hide its human rights and free speech abuses - all in the name of profit and corporate greed. SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK – MEDIA INFORMATION Shadow of The Holy Book, Arto Halonen's latest documentary film, received its world premiere at The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) in November 2007. The film was selected for the festival’s prestigious main competition, the Joris Ivens Competition. Since its premiere the film has been selected for 75 other film festivals, including such significant events as Hot Docs in Toronto and the Seattle International Film Festival. In March 2008, one of the world’s leading documentary film festivals, The 10th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival in Greece, honoured Arto Halonen as one of the most important directors of the new generation of documentary filmmakers. Shadow of the Holy Book has received the Grand Prix at the Interna- tional Human Rights Film Festival in Paris, the Jury Special Prize at the Batumi International Art- House Film Festival in Georgia, the Audience Choice Award at the Taiwan International Documen- tary Festival, the Honorary Recognition at the International 1001 Documentary Film Festival in Tur- key, and The Finnish State Quality Production Award 2008. The film was also nominated for the revered European Film Academy Documentary 2008 - Prix ARTE award.

  • Unlocking the Cage
    UNLOCKING THE CAGE A film by Chris Hegedus and D A Pennebaker Running Time: 91 minutes filmswelike CANADIAN DISTRIBUTION Films We Like Bookings and Inquries: [email protected] UNLOCKING THE CAGE A film by Chris Hegedus and D A Pennebaker LOGLINE Unlocking the Cage follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his unprecedented challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans, by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform a chimpanzee from a “thing” with no rights to a “person” with legal protections. SYNOPSIS Unlocking the Cage follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his unprecedented challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. After 30 years of struggling with ineffective animal welfare laws, Steve and his legal team, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), are making history by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform an animal from a “thing” with no rights to a “person” with legal protections. Supported by affidavits from primatologists around the world, Steve maintains that, based on scientific evidence, cognitively complex animals such as chimpanzees, whales, dolphins and elephants have the capacity for limited personhood rights (such as bodily liberty) that would protect them from physical abuse. Using writs of habeas corpus (historically used to free humans from unlawful imprisonment), Wise argues on behalf of four captive chimpanzees in New York State. Unlocking the Cage captures a monumental shift in our culture, as the public and judicial system show increasing receptiveness to Steve’s impassioned arguments. It is an intimate look at a lawsuit that could forever transform our legal system, and one man’s lifelong quest to protect “nonhuman” animals.

  • Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.2, 2010 // 203 Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner [*] Don Alan Pennebaker, auch nominiert als D.A., Don A. oder Donn A. Pennebaker. Geboren am 15. Juli 1925, dreht der heute vierundachtzigjährige Don Alan Pennebaker, Sohn eines Fotografen, noch immer Filme. Nach seinem Militärdienst und einem Ingenieurstudium in Yale sowie am M.I.T in Cambridge arbeitete er in verschiedenen Berufen, bevor er auf Drew und Leacock stieß. Michael Barchet zufolge verdiente Pennebaker sein Geld zunächst als Werbetexter und entwickelte u.a. ein computergestütztes Buchungssystem für Fluglinien (Barchet 1991, 154). Inspiriert durch den Filmemacher Francis Thompson drehte Pennebaker mit Ende zwanzig mit DAYBREAK EXPRESS (1953) und BABY (1954) seine ersten Filme über die New Yorker U-Bahn und einen Zoobesuch mit seiner Tochter. Letzterer war eigentlich nichts anderes als ein Amateur-Familienfilm. Jedoch wurde ihm während des Schneidens bewusst, dass er nicht seinem Material eine Story aufdrängen, sondern dass er sich Story und Rhythmus später in der Montage aus sich selbst heraus entwickeln lassen sollte (Saunders 2007, 10). Zusammen mit Richard Leacock wurde Pennebaker ein Gründungsmitglied von Drew Associates und arbeite dort für die nächsten drei Jahre. Nach den Erfolgen um PRIMARY (1960, Robert Drew), THE CHAIR (1963, ROBERT DREW) und CRISIS: BEHIND A PRESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT (1963, Robert Drew) sah sich Pennebaker nicht mehr in der Lage, die Forderungen von ABC, Time-Life und Drew zu erfüllen und strebte zusammen mit Leacock nach mehr künstlerischer Freiheit: My decision to quit wasn’t the result of any great moral conflict, I simply wasn’t able to fulfill their demands, because I realized that our process of filming could produce better films.
