Box 705 Cordova, Alaska 99574 (907) 429-4444 FAX 424-5820 amarquette@pwssc.org www.pwssc.org Attack of the Sea Slugs (6 min) Champ Williams Orange sea pens bring color to a cold stark landscape of the sub tidal sand flats of the Puget Sound. Although these sand flats appear desolate, hiding in wait is a creature with an acquired taste for sea pens. Guardians of the Sea (12 min) Tom Pollack Philanthropist Charles Annenberg Weingarten sets out to unveil the story of Oahu’s legendary lifeguards. Today’s wave runner powered ocean heroes are presented against a backdrop of historical characters who first braved Hawaii’s big breaks. Ice Bears of the Beaufort (10min) Art C. Smith III & Jennifer Smith Living among the Polar Bears on Barter Island near Kaktovik Alaska, the film makers have rare access to the year round lives of the great white bear of the North Country. In light of the Polar Bear’s rapidly changing habitat, this intimate look into its world is at once timely and revealing. Once upon a Tide (9 min) Center for Global Health at the Harvard School of Medicine This fantasy fable depicts one girl’s journey to break a mysterious spell that has befallen mankind. In her determination to find a way to break the spell, she travels to the sea, learning along the way how our health and well-being depend on the marine environment. Arriving at her destination, the girl helps us realize how we can all break the spell and save the ocean, and ourselves. Proteus (9 min) Chris Bauer (KQED) Inventor Ugo Conti turns his struggles with sea sickness into the stuff of which science fiction is made. Seeking to create a vessel that can transport land lubbers free of illness, he develops the ship of the future. Rethink the Shark (1 min) Save our Seas Foundation The film Jaws not only set a standard for fear onscreen – it also plunged millions of Americans into a life long fear of the giants lurking below the surface. This clever PSA seeks to separate shark threat myth from reality. The Secret Weapon (2 min) Champ Williams This film maker has an uncanny knack transforming the ocean’s tiniest inhabitants into larger than life characters. This “super short” focuses on the keyhole limpet and a battle with the voracious sunflower star. To survive, the limpet has developed an unlikely defense mechanism that is reminiscent of something out of Hollywood space film. Silent Snow (14 min) Jan van den Berg In recent years, Greenland has become a mecca for eco-tourism. Unfortunately, travelers are sadly not alone in their pull toward this majestic land. Chemical residues from all over the world accumulate here invisibly, poisoning humans and animals. Via currents in the ocean and attached to snow, pesticides like DDT are carried northbound into Inuit land, causing illness and premature death. Silent Snow is a documentary project investigating, together with the people who are affected the most, what turns out to be a structural pollution of the entire global environmental system. Swimming in Shark Alley (5 min) Skyler Thomas Astonished and captivated by the timid calculating behavior of South African great whites, the film team free dives in famed shark alley. Highlights include rare footage of sharks and seals sharing the sea peacefully. Dessert Break – Help support the PWSSC NOSB team by purchasing one of their delicious home made deserts! (15 min) Red Gold (54 min) (Shown Last) Ben Knight, Travis Rummel, & Lauren Oakes This dynamic portrayal of one of Alaska’s biggest land use debates since statehood provides viewers with an opportunity to gaze upon the proposed Pebble Mine project from all angles. At its heart, however, is a journey into the breath taking country surrounding the headwaters of Bristol Bay. Coupled with an intimate look at the region’s ever present fishing culture, the film leaves viewers with a vivid picture of the citizens of Bristol Bay 2009-11-22T03:00:00 http://www.brownbearsw.com/freecal/Cordova?Date=2009-11-24;EventID=5602424 @ Current Rhythms Studio. $10/students. $18/adults.
