Re: [Frameworks] ELEPHANTS AND FILM
I need to be clear and then I'll be quiet. I am not interested in thinking of ways to kill elephants. I stand in awe and wonder in front of all animals endangered and otherwise, I love all the living creatures of this planet. Right now today the Elephant is being wiped out with a brutality and efficacy not seen since we Americans destroyed the buffalo. A tiny group of human beings think that by making films about what is happening they may be able to educate those who would kill the elephants and those who buy ivory to the horror and stop the killing. The people who make the films are here: http://africanenvironmentalfilms.squarespace.com/donate African Environmental Film Foundation.

The CHINESE demand the elephant's ivory tusks to make ludicrous carved luxury goods. If there is hope it might be through FILM. Apparently, ridiculously the burgeoning Chinese middle class thinks elephant tusks fall out naturally. They call them elephant teeth. Using film to educate in Africa and China may be the elephants last best hope. The Experimental Film community can contribute importantly and make a difference.

[Frameworks] Save Lolita: new film urges release of captive killer whale
http://news.mongabay.com/2013/0122-hance-lolita.html Through his new 90-second PSA,Save Lolita, filmmaker Daniel Azarian wanted to connect people to the plight of Lolita on a deeply human level; the only problem: Lolita is an orca, also known as a killer whale. But the stark, moving PSA succeeds, given the sociability of an individual—human or orca—who was stolen from her family and held in captivity for the past 42 years at Miami's Seaquarium. - Sandy Maliga ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
