Do you take some time to talk between the songs to make it clear that meat eating sucks or stuff like T usually explain our view on animal rights and veganism every time we play. Sometimes there are also other subjects 1 talk about, for example politics or human rights. [ think i's impor rant to keep this kind of spreading the message alive though I often fee! like repeating myself and that drowns my motivation] sometimes. On the other hand it’s a very good feeling when! people come to you after a show and tell you that the message touched them somchow or even changed their behaviour.

Last but not least Sergei Dvortsevoy, a russian documentary filmmaker that in 2008 made is first fiction ever "Tupan", for ethic relation reasons, his principal focus on his films’ are nomad families living in Asia and Middle East Deserts. His docu- mentary's are truly great but he stopped doing it because he felt he was taking advantage of the people he filmed to be con- sidered an artist, that’s why he made “Tulpan” with some char- acters that he filmed in his previous films and asprring local actors, they all earned money for it. Please read the interview he gave to The Guardian on this link: werw.guardian.co.ul/filn/2009/nov/05/segei-dyortse\oy-pawel- auiikousti and watch his films but 1 think you will be able to see just “Tulpen' others are hard to find on the web and I don't ‘lnk tiey are edkted on dvd, 1 hope you enjoy reading this, e-mail if you lke itor not or if you Rave any questions. Thanks to "Open Minds” zine. 1 truly thing zines are a great way to share info and knowledge, don’t, make them disenoear, in this world ef web and tv. Sorry for my bad english | support a vegan straight edge lifestyle Zines are knowledge, books, friends, movies need to be more based on real imagines, positive info end beauty, other way they can be catastrophic. We are promoting a lifestyle here, we know veganiem can change the worid in a good way. Now some films and directors 1 would like to show you. Starting with a classic, "Primary" by Robert Drew, this man is one of the pioneers of documentary film, in my point of view he was the first to use the language of film into reality, he did a documen- tary like he was doing a fiction, this film in particular is about Jon F. Kennedy run for president of the U.S. and you will see Kennedy not as 4 machine or a politi cian but as a person, this film features as well ¢ really awesome camera work. Drew and his films are a part of the "Cinéma Vérité” (truthful cinema), with started to be a movement of documentary filmmakers that still exists today (check out wiki- pedia article about it, and if you like it, they recommend some more films there). Werner Herzog, one of my favorite directors, he does documentary and fiction films, he is known particula- tly because he doesn't give a shit about anything, he jus does it, but he directs his films with such sincerity and love that is truly heart blow: ing. Watch "The White Dia- mend" and "Encounters at the End of The World” two of his latest documentary, “Our Daily Bread” by ger- man Nikolaus Geyrhalter, if {i you see this you'll under- stend when | say a film must be beautiful even when the subject is not for vege, eabsys l ascong a fy od conten hat as Sa are of he slesing tat went en behind sed ds an whet I eae ha yee set ete tt a esp tenon wa Th yu lathe eB ath Vegans se nos etic cnce {ory sonal ee bah fee romest andthe ves of ro-bman ain Best cess ve evra in il VEGANISM {HK TOV RESPECT, COMPASSION 1am proud wo sy ta 1 Ben a aes sloce teh grade My pares were se: what eign evi up, and sated syn liens, ae Chistian) 6 Gombe the Une Ss at vy fate econ on cms ak ean pos, feast ate | eek fe mage ave an ewe sty my (queso of hy do bd ths pen fo eed pple? | te ete pero the on my stain. and mabe fom sol ino the ebes sfcin.

Do you want to see more ualy and horritie things on movies? We all know what's happening, we are bombed with that, on ty, nevrs, etc. All the wars, .so, if we are bombed with that 3nd we consider ourselves deferments, cruelty free, we don't want to show more cruelty. Stil about promoting, who are you to be 2 voice of reason and promote « lifestyle to millions of people who follow their own mays all over the world? It's a question | leave, really don't knaw how to answer but still makes me think Documentary cinema all over again. Who am to be writing about it? Questioning Docurnentary’s this time, I dor't thing the pro~ blem is on the essence of the question but on the answers of most directors find or try to find in the process of making the film, for example, talking to people that are supposed to know more about the subject than you do, but than, not looking for the opposite side, for example, question veganism, you need to both talk with vegan and meat eaters, new vegans and ex- vegans to get the full perspective on it. When to stop? How can you tell when you really have your answer? ost of this type of films end in two different ways, or they fail to get an answer an because kind of pointless, or they get a fake answer that you doubt about it. VEGANISM Now focusing on veganism, do you know anyone who became vegan just because he/she wetched a film of animals suffering? 1 know some and thay all eventually quit. A image is something that enters in your head and stays thare for awhile but eventu- ally vanishes, and when disappears, you forget about those films and you don't care anymore. read about a couple who went vegan after watching one of those films, they had a baby that died of a poor nutrition. So @ film is not the best way to past that info, I think that can open some minds but not changing a person entirely, when you do a film with all the right reasons but then someone dies because of it, Fuck! it's not the way. In Documentary you have to work with what exists, what's real, what's happening at the moment you are filming, and show not what you want but your point of view on that particular subject. This for me is the most important thing on a film, imagine thot your subject is e blind man with e dog guide, you can do this film on the point of view of that man and your camera will be on his eye level most of the time, or, you can do it on the dog level, both these films are about blindness but both are very different on there essence. 1. OBSERVATION REAL 2. PROMOTE 3. QUESTION 4, EXPRESS FICTION With your subject and point of view defined, you need to know what you want do to with it, will it be based on observa- tion only? Do you want to promote something for example ve anism? Do you want to question how something is made? With ur opinion or beautiful images that retract reality? You can always mix them and make a film with multiple aspects. T think observation and expression are pretty well defined, observation is t00 lack, to show a process, expression is just yourself, you and the subject, what can you create with it, but, promoting and questioning ‘are much more complicated, | Quess...both these topics rise up some complicated ethical questions, in promoting you are telling the viewer something you think it's good but most of the times you do it by showing the opposite, what's bad, This is something that I'm sick of seeing on films that promote veganism where you're bombed with images of animals been killed ond tortured, horrible Images that have the only propose to shock the viewer, { don't think, I'm sure veganism ts not about that, were is the Deauty? ‘A film must be beautiful always at least in a way, and you can't show beauty with thet, if the movie has no beauty, is it tetany ent quia hey cae There's esse way we ws was the “a ena of "unepeent” w ecb 0 sce eco tage ee ta en roam hig Trecarhx hr sae eso nd sscrg nomen the Fig ain shah nicole ae dined Scene ad bop Oise Begs witoanew cao! gn equ enesanetad AVX es nb ps ew yes wo eae ep After show does anyone aboard you to question or cite your Iy- "les.

Not only the need but the means, nowadays almost everything is a mean for sharing, still, one of the strongest ways continues to be moving images more specific, documentary filmmaking exists since 1922 with "Na- ‘nook of the North” by Robert Flaherty, for sure this was the first documentary film, sil it was very criticized tobe a dscor- tion of reality because the director staged with the characters some of the scenes, for example, the construction of an igloo witch the Inuk (canadian erctic tribe captured on the film) haven't been doing for years ‘This reality vs fiction subject continues to be very fresh dis- cussion stil, there's fresher one, ethice in documentary Movies are, above all, a representation of reality, you all must have seen a flim (fiction) the: you thought it was kinde shity because you just could not beleve that what you saw was true or, coule be true, that wae prebably because the film did not faked reality very well. A documentary can be faked doing the opposite, fictioning (I don't know if this word even exists in english, but you get the point) realty which ‘Nangck of the North” does it in a way, but you can do it not only by staging a scene but for example in Michael Moore's "Bowling ‘or Colur bine’, there's a scene were Moore himself is showing you how easy is to get a gun, he goes to a bank and a few mo- ments later he comes out with one, the truth is that te had to do.a huge tripe to claim the weapon and walt several coys, 3, its obvious a cis. tortion of reality. What thece filmmakers are doing is showing what they want to show not what exists. They wri- tea script and than fim it same as fiction.
