The Great White Silence (1924)

#the great white silence #robert falcon scott #polar exploration #my screencaps #documentary film #1920s films #unlike South 1919 I read accounts of the expedition before watching this #(specifically cherry-garrard’s Worst Journey in the World)#and the film did not capture the narrative’s feeling for me #obviously you can’t compress 600 pages into a single film #but the goofy 20s intertitles in the first half of this felt so morbid knowing what would happen to scott #polar

If you, like me, wish we spent more time talking about the women of the civil rights movement, here’s a really big moment that often goes unsung: the 1969 Charleston Hospital Strike.

Protesting discriminatory treatment, the unjust termination of 12 employees, and abysmal wages, more than 60 hospital workers, all Black, most women, went on strike for 2 months. The demonstrations they staged provoked a response of over 1,000 state troopers and members of the national guard. The movement was notably supported by Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King Jr., pictured above (front center).

The investigation of the hospital that followed found 37 instances of civil rights violation, and when the state was threatened with a $12 million cut in federal funds, they yielded, rehiring the 12 employees who had been fired and agreeing to a pay increase.

One of the participants in the demonstrations, Madeline Anderson, since inducted to the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, made a phenomenal 30 minute documentary called “I am Somebody”. If you can find it, watch it. I was able to find a DVD at my local public library. If you’re interested in reading what I had to say about the movie, you can read my letterboxd review here.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Pine, who famously played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek reboot, is set to narrate Space: The New Frontier, a documentary made for IMAX, Giant Screen and specialty theatres by Definition Studios Australia in association with K2 Studios.

The doc examines how humankind has continued to push the scientific boundaries of what is possible in space, following the pioneers and visionaries from private companies as well as NASA and other international space agencies – expanding the limits of science, engineering and the human body to enrich life on earth. From new launch to reusable rocket technologies, commercial space stations to NASA’s Artemis Moon to Mars program, living and working in space is closer than we think, according to the new doc.

Pine, who is coming off the back of his directorial debut Poolman and is a supporter of Children’s Hospital and The Orchid Foundation, a mentorship and scholarship program for underserved girls, said: “I remember seeing these shows in IMAX when I was a kid, so to be a part of it is a real blessing and I can’t wait to inspire kids.”

Space: The New Frontier will roll out in 3D and 2D IMAX, Giant Screen and Dome theaters at space museums, science centers and other cultural destinations worldwide, starting with the Kennedy Space Center in this month. The film will roll out globally over the next several years. STEM outreach and resources include classroom visits from MIT alumni and space architects at Aurelia Institute seen in the film as well as hands-on activities and lessons for teachers.

Those familiar with this blog will be familiar with my various posts highlighting the Indigenous Iditarod dog musher, and first out trans woman to run the Iditarod, Apayauq. Those posts are still amongst my most popular and continually reblogged posts, they really seem to resonate with a lot of people.

During Apayauq's most recent Iditarod, where she came in last and took the Red Lantern, a documentary by Zeppelin Zeerip was made. I've been closely watching the documentary's success on the film festival market and not only has it recently won Best Indigenous Short at BENDFilm, but APAYAUQ has been nominated for an Academy Award!

This is huge news!

GAZA

2,2 million people jammed together in the world´s largest prison. They are surrounded by concrete walls, mine fields, barbed wire and from above the bombs, thousands of bombs.

These are some of the people I´ve met in Gaza, a place full of women and children. More than half of the population are unemployed, and more more than half of the people living on the Gaza strip are under 18 years old.

Still the bombs keep falling - and the Western world does nothing. A shameful time for civilization and humanity.
