Time For Reel Action
Up one level
Time For Reel Action (T4RA) is a video compilation of Asia-Pacific Climate Change stories that explores the impacts, the action and the Climate solutions emerging from the region.
The T4RA program is developing strategic partnerships with groups focused on climate change issues to both integrate video into their online strategies and to further support the aims of their campaigns.
There are thousands of urgent climate stories in the Asia-Pacific. T4RA harnesses the potential of video and the web to amplify these stories and their demands for action.
T4RA reveals deeply personal concerns amongst film-makers across the Asia-Pacific, from the people of Sungai Utik in Kalimantan, struggling to maintain their farms in the face of drastic decline in rainfall, to the impacts of climate change on the coastal communities of Samoa.

It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture. It seems we are now dangerously close to the tipping point in the world's climate system; this is the point of no return, after which truly catastrophic changes become inevitable. Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip is a short, animated film about climate change by Leo Murray. Read more…

Green Gone Wrong
In this day and age, people in Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, are jumping on the "green" trends bandwagon in a quest to save the Earth from the effects of global warming. Unfortunately, many misunderstand the essentials of going green, and take the term too literally - by wearing shirts with environment messages, joining popular environment groups, and basically wearing all kinds of green accessories. And on a higher level, people start buying biofuel products made from palm oils for their vehicles. Whilst biofuel itself is indeed producing significantly less CO2 emissions, the industry continues to sacrifice hectares of forests daily, destroying the very essence of saving the planet. Read more…

Dark Sun

Short film by David Nerlich 1998. From deification to demonisation, the changing icon of the life-giving sun in the age of ozone depletion marks a spiritual decay that follows in the wake of the physical decay of our natural atmospheric defences. The advent of an evil sun icon also represents a neurotic abnegation of blame onto the sun for what is really the result of destructive human activity. This 3D animation follows a dreaming monologue, with transient voices and imagery floating and exchanging meaning. Read more…
