Keynes sagde det.

"In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if, in tempestuous seasons, they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again"

I skrivende stund er vi midt i corona-krisen. Store dele af Danmark, Europa og verden er lukket ned og gået i hi. Det er nok de flestes uudtalte forståelse at det er en akut og midlertidig situation, som det gælder om at komme igennem for derefter at fortsætte hvor vi slap. Det betyder også, at...

Other Story

🐝

We met Mathieu at University Paul Sabatier, in Toulouse. Here he is immersed in the landscape of bees, and a professor in ecology researching cognitive behavior in small brained insects. We moved into the green and buzzing wilderness and sat down with Mathieu to talk about his feelings as a scientist in the midst of a mass extinction of bees, why he researches, what touches him and what he has learned from the bees.

This is the first film in the series, Being in the World, where we explore the feelings of climate scientists through intimate conversations.

She can not accept that everybody keeps on repeating old consumer patterns and she is calling for full attention from the Danish politicians. From Sep. 30th - Oct 2nd 2018, the movement will occupy the area in front of the Danish parliament building. She encourages all youth to join.

I nyeste episode af Media, Art, Rebellion berøres det oprørske hjerte, der banker bag visionen om at benytte træ som byggemateriale i en branche præget af glas, cement og stål.

"Horses come, and then I've lost some horses."
We met Mike Little Bear for a coffee and ended up spending the whole day together with Mike at Standing Rock. The name Standing Rock, is a Lakota reference to, how all aspects of nature are alive and have spirit. The whole day Mike showered us with knowledge about Lakota philosophy, and we asked him about the power of prayer, the Animal Nation and about true solidarity through the uncolonised way of thinking.

Wasté is from the Lakota Dakota tribe and is active in the struggle against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) construction. We asked her how she experiences being a 'water protector' and what America is to her.

Leo will join Madeleine Kate, and share his thoughts on rituals, songs, native history and the prophecy about the tribe of all colours.

Hver dag vil Other Story bringe en visuel dagbog fra deres filmforløb på Jelling Asylcenter, hvor en gruppe asylansøgere sammen med i Danmark bosatte filmskabere, kreerer en serie film, der senere vil blive udgivet på Other Story og Aarhus Filmværksted.

Other Story and Aarhus Filmværksted are moving into Jelling Asylumcenter. During the next two weeks five young moviemakers will make a series of movies together with five young asylum seekers, while living in the asylumcenter.
-
"Yesterday I (Laura) met the asylum seekers and we shared some stories. One of the asylum seekers is Sayed. He told me that one of his everyday rituals is to go up on top of Jellinge Højene, where one of the first Danish kings is buried. Up there he has a safeplace, where he thinks about his life and dreams of his future. I can se why he likes that place. It is windy and you can se far across the fields and village. Sitting on top of the grave of an old Viking-king and his queen, seems as a good place to think big thoughts.
Today the Danish moviemakers will arrive and the project will begin to take it's shape. I'm excited."
