| Summary |
Bones of the Forest is told through the eyes of both native and non-native elders, placing deforestation into the context of colonization. Maintaining an even-handed tone, the filmmakers incorporate the views of loggers, alternative forestry practitioners, a former VP of logging giant MacMillan-Blodell, native elders and longtime protesters. The plight of loggers and their families, made redundant due to over-foresting, is included as yet another damaging social consequence of forestry policy.. Interwoven throughout the film is the dramaticexperience of the sights and sounds of the threatened forest.Utilizing a host of cinematic techniques, from time-lapse photography to animation, and a gloriously descriptive and evocative soundscape,the power of Bones of the Forest grows from its quietly statedcommitment to the significance of these lands and its respectfulgranting of a platform to those involved in the crisis. Thissecond feature for Ripper and first for Frise is a major cinematicachievement and a powerful contribution in the fight for global environmental sense.. |
