SXSW world premier BORN TO FLY post screening Q&A w director Catherine Gund and ELIZABETH STREB
SXSW Left Tilda Swinton's public conversation (oh no you think..but I have had the same conversation with her privately) to go see the world premier of Catherine Gund's BORN TO FLY the Elizabeth STREB documentary Bot women,director Gund and choreographer-provocateur STREB have each had the courage to take flight. Gund best know for her kid-centric healthy food and how to cook it documentary What's on Your Plate? In Born to Fly Gund takes a wild leap forward and documents the body challenging feats of dance that signify STREB's company's physical discipline, BORN TO FLY is a masterful example of complicated story telling, All I can say is WOW.. and how did they do THAT? This live action real time footage has none of the new tricks of simulation Hollywood Action Hero flicks have . What you see is actually happening.
Gund shot some amazing STRB dances including the endorphin shower of doing and watching STEB walk down the sleek, slippery totally glass top to bottom of the London City Hall during the London Olympics in 2012 ... BORN TO FLY is lyrical with out being sentimental.The arch of film is letting go of fear ...... to fly. Going beyond the limits fear resticts imagination and physical accomplishment,This is dance at it most muscular poetic beauty (Film Forum in Sept)

Raoul Peck/s FATAL ASSISTANCE how disaster aid is given eg Haiti,His film speaks of the unspeakable
FATAL ASSISTANCE director Raoul Peck
FATAL ASSISTANCE is a provocative study of the downside of good do-ism in catastrophic
situations A critical look at the role NGO's play and the influence
of international politics (Bill Clinton) and corporation's branding
of "good works". Peck asks hard questions about what
happened with the billions of dollars raised to "help"
Haiti. In FATAL ASSISTANCE he asks: what actual role did
Haitians and their elected officials have in Haiti's recovery? It
challenges the donors, be they individuals, corporations or
government to follow what happens with their donations. Here Peck, a
world recognized and awarded film maker (Lumumba, The Death of a
Prophet and a Haitian artist who once was,
for a brief time Minister of Culture in the 90's FATAL ASSISTANCE challenges all donors to follow the money His expose of what happened with the billions of dollars donated, who made the decisions on how to spend it, how much actually came into Haiti and how much was actually taken out. Not easy questions but important ones, not only in Haiti but other recent catastrophes where the world's population stepped up to rescue people and countries in serious trouble. Challenging, yes. Troubling, yes but Raoul Peck raises his questions with integrity, cinematic spectacle and, surprisingly, with poetic lyricism by using two voices overs that bring insightful clarity to the complex issues he raises and those voices resonate with both humanity and dismay. See it because it is about Haiti. See it because it is about all disasters where outside intervention comes in to rescue the impacted population and the tensions aid creates.
