Daniel Schweitzer
Switzerland / France
2009 | DCP | 1:16:00 | vo

DIRTY PARADISE is a true story. The story of the Wayana people, French Indians of Amazonia who are cursed by living in a region rich of gold sources. Consequently, the uncontrolled exploitation of this wealth has brought about a severe deterioration of the forest’s ecosystem, the irreversible pollution of streams, as well as countless violations of fundamental human rights.

“The Aquarium" was filmed in high-definition video in Alaska, Mystic, and New York City. The video contrasts the views of the Arctic landscape with the claustrophobia of captured sea animals living in aquariums. These artificial environments offer a safe place to the endangered animals and at the same time for the visitors a mesmerizing glimpse of the marine life.  “The Aquarium” looks beyond the spectacle to the reality of progressive destruction of these animals' life conditions. Not simply an environmental critique, the film assumes an attitude of wonder towards its magnificent subjects: the animals, the landscape, the human observers, and the artificial environments created in the purpose to domesticate nature.
