FILMS:
Echoes of Cry of the Marsh (60 min)
Oak #419 (52 min)
Echoes of Cry of the Marsh (59 min, USA)
Explores the issue of wetland restoration through the eyes of Bob Hartkopf, who has worked more than 40 years to restore the marsh near his family farm in rural Minnesota. In the 1960s, Hartkopf produced a short film called Cry of the Marsh. With only a single 16mm camera, Hartkopf created a stunning portrait of drained wetlands, devastated wildlife, flood-prone conditions, and an environment cutoff from humans. The film received considerable acclaim, but Hartkopf is still waiting to see those wetlands return. (Mike Cihak, 2007)
Oak #419 (52 min, Germany, USA)
A 400-year-old oak tree is to be cut down to make way for a highway. The new roadway is to lead to the next projected development, with 20,000 housing units, in the ever growing urban sprawl of Los Angeles County. Oak #419 is a documentary about the protest movement to try to save this tree, led by John Quigley who spent 71 days living on its limbs. The movement became much bigger than just this tree, drawing not only people from all over, but also receiving great media attention. The occupied tree became the proverbial "line in the sand" between nature and the voracious development of Los Angeles. (Robert Harding Pittman, 2006)
