Programme:

1.Sunrise Fires - Lorenzo Gattorna2013, 16mm-to-digital, b/w and color, sound, 6.5 minutesIn early September 1995 the Sunrise Wildfire was extinguished. 7,000 acres had burned during the peak of the tourist season yet nobody was killed. The aggravated assault swept from one side of Sunrise Highway to the other without the slightest hesitance. Another series of severe brush fires ignited 17 years later and became known as the Brookhaven Blaze. The outbreak left around 2,000 acres torched. The wild ruin and regrowth were revisited within The Central Pine Barrens, the largest natural area on Long Island and its last remaining wilderness.

2. The Sea [is still] Around Us - Hope Tucker4 minutes, HD, US, 2012The postcard of a vacation spot usually enhances the reality. The contrast is more stark in Corinna, Maine, a former woolen mill town on the shores of Lake Sebasticook, where unregulated dumping of pesticides and industrial waste contaminated the water supply.

3. Morning at Xuanwu Lake - Chris H LynnSuper 8mm to digital, b/w, silent, 2.00 minutesLyrical views are captured on an early morning at Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, China
