Chronicles Of-The Good Reverend
Residing on opposite sides of the Delaware River, Capital City and Pottersfield are political and socioeconomic enemies dividing people of the same class. An upsurge of bizarre homicides baffles authorities as a disturbing new drug leads to a multitude of overdose victims mysteriously washing ashore on the river banks of both towns.

Commuting to work is always a delicate moment, in which our mind usually wanders and reflects on where our life is headed. That’s where we begin our story, on a ultra slow motion shot in the New York Subway… until something happens that blowseverything away. Subway is a a short film about a very long instant: falling in love.

In the near future, when all labor works are replaced by humanoids, a Chinese chef, Pu (60s) is ordered to pass on his cooking skill to humanoid robot William and to teach him Chinese cooking. Designed to satisfy his owner, William tries to follow Pu’s every instruction, but his robotic demand for precision and perfection is essentially contradictory to Chinese cooking. At the same time, the protests against AI replacing human labor are more and more intense. Qiang, Pu’s apprentice is also one of the protestors. Since Qiang disappoints Pu time and time again in cooking, Pu starts to get closer with William, which pushes him to the opposite of human beings. Pu becomes at a loss in this dilemma.

Four Indigenous environmental leaders embark on an extraordinary trans-continental adventure from the Canadian plains to deep into the heart of the Amazonian jungle to unite the peoples of North and South America and deepen the meaning of Climate Justice. "The Condor & The Eagle" documentary offers a glimpse into a developing spiritual renaissance as the film's four protagonists learn from each other’s long legacy of resistance to colonialism and its extractive economy. Their path through the jungle takes them on an unexpectedly challenging and liberating journey, which will forever change their attachment to the Earth and one another. Oscar-winning Producer / Editor Douglas Blush says:"This documentary takes the struggle for Climate Justice beyond the standard borders of separate nations and shows a new, larger movement rising up across many Indigenous peoples, using thrilling cinematography, deeply personal stories and the urgency of tomorrow’s headlines. The Condor & The Eagle is both a profound work of climate journalism and an exhilarating, emotional adventure film”.
