I did my best to make sure you were taken care of
Through the plants that bore fruit for you to eat
Provided you sun when you were cold
And shade when the heat got to be too much
But, no matter how much I gave you, you always wanted more.

Shelby Reid - Returning Home

With Returning Home (Short, Canada, 2021), Shelby Reid created a spoken word poetry short film written from the Earth's perspective from the beginning of time to the present pandemic.
From Reid’s director interview: “I was in my backyard and wrote poetry and played with writing from the earth's perspective […] I explored doing spoken word with it, and I noticed how much I came to life and how much the poem came to life […] How else could I amplify this? I started to contact videographers and started to build the concept of making this into a film.”

Vanessa Prigollini – Contrasts

Cinema Verde presents an interview with Vanessa Prigollini, the director of Contrasts. "Contrasts" is a declaration of principles on freedom from captivity of marine species. It arises at the beginning of the pandemic, with the aim of generating empathy in the viewer about life in confinement. All living beings have the right to freedom, and humans cannot claim the right to take freedom from other species or use them for business and human entertainment, and this is what "Contrasts" tries to sensitize people about.
From the podcast interview: “It's been documented that these animals can kill themselves, they commit suicide to end their lives in captivity, because they are voluntary breathers. So they decide when to breathe, and when not to go back to the surface to breathe.”

Joep van Dijk - CO2? CO-NEE!

Cinema Verde presents an interview with Joep van Dijk the director of "CO2? CO-NEE!" Joep van Dijk is a passionate climate scientist. He likes to search for extreme examples that show how life can be lived sustainably. This documentary follows Joep on his CO2-neutral journey from Amsterdam to the United States of America and shows how this choice inspires himself and others to live a climate conscious life.
 
From the podcast interview: “The first thing that we need to do in order to change this travel culture is to ask ourselves: What do we want to do with this particular trip that we are undertaking? What is the goal? If we really ask ourselves then we can figure out what the real need is underneath. Maybe we can figure out that we don't have to travel. Getting time to figure out what our emotions are telling us before we just quickly book the trip to the other side of the world.”
