The Water Bearer (Canada, 2007, 52 mins.) Thailand Premiere This film follows the efforts made by the men and women of Flores Island in Indonesia, to re-invent their daily lives after 32 years of dictatorship. Amongst them, we find a Canadian, Gilles Raymond, in search of a code of ethics where action coincides with words. Through the simple quest for clean running water, Catholics and Muslims work together to instil a direct democracy and sustainable autonomy. This is a road movie of sorts, the ancient Ngada warrior culture serving as a backdrop, where solidarity rubs shoulders with defeatism and generosity overcomes corruption. Beyond money, beyond religion and politics, this film reminds us that all men are born brothers. |

Desolation Angel (Thailand, 2007, 46 mins.) World Premiere This documentary juxtaposes the desolation of modern life amongst the faceless shadows in the often-chaotic megalopolis of Bangkok with the warmth and closeness felt with strangers in the traditional, relaxed setting in provincial Thailand. Desolation Angel takes us on a journey of discovery and acculturation as we follow our actor opening various doors in his adopted culture. By following some local contacts and using his fluency in the language his journey to provincial Thailand unravels a new pathway. The catalyst is the ancient, complex culture as he experiences a personal re-birth along his experience with the Thai New Year, known as Songkran. Above all, this is a film about the pleasure of simplicity. |
