SPEAKERS: TBD (30 min)
Whats With the Water? (1 min, Germany, USA)
This short is a PSA-style fantasy showing a normal fellow going through his morning routine with no water. At first, the film subtly clues the viewer in to the lack of water, and then less subtly when the protagonist meets some other young professionals on his way to work. (Douglas Williamson, 2007)
Fourth World Water Forum ads (1 min each, Mexico)
The Fourth World Water Forum was held in Mexico City in March 2006, gathering 20,000 people from around the world to participate in working sessions under the theme, "local actions for a global challenge." Shower and Lips were produced as one-minute promotional pieces. (Sergio Muoz, 2006)
The Water Front (53 min, USA)
What if you lived by the largest body of fresh water in the world but could no longer afford to use it? Residents of Highland Park, Michigan, known as the birthplace of the auto-industry, have received water bills as high as $10,000; they have had their water turned off, their homes foreclosed, and are struggling to keep water, a basic human right, from becoming privatized. The Water Front is the story of an American city in crisis but it is not just about water. The story touches on the very essence of our democratic system and is an unnerving indication of what is in store for residents around the world facing their own water struggles. (Liz Miller, 2007)
