CCA 4 Sunday 19th October
4.45-6.15 pm
Old Man Peter
Ivan Golovnev
Russia 2008 / 26 Mins
The dialogue between
people, nature and gods is based upon a sacred knowledge and mythology. In the
modem world only a few cultures based on myth survive.
This film takes us into the word of old man Peter Sengepov, the last surviving Shaman of the Kazym River, who lives alone in the depths of the Siberian taiga.
Last Yoik in Saami Forests
Hannu Hyvonen
Finland, 2008 - 58 mins
Intensive
tree-felling in the forests of Finnish Lapland, even in the home area
of the indigenous Saami peoples, has continued for the last fifty years.
The conflict between forestry interests and nature conservation has been
constant for the last twenty, as this invasion reaches more and more of
the remaining wildernesses. The traditional practise of free-grazing reindeer
herding, dependent on the old-growth forests, was steadily losing resources,
but no complaint or protest had managed to stop the process.
In spring 2005, Saami reindeer herders made an alliance with Greenpeace which established a Forest Rescue Station in the wilderness of Inari. The international pressure mobilized by Greenpeace forced multinational Finnish forest company Stora Enso to stop buying wood from the disputed areas. As a result, state-owned Finnish company Metsähallitus had to cease its logging activities. Then loggers built their own "Antiterror Infocamp" near the Forest Rescue Station. The threats and disturbances began. Last Yoik In Saami Forests outlines the history of this conflict and suggests that, given the durable quality of Lappish wood, it might be possible to find more profitable uses for several hundred-year-old timber than pulping, burning or processing for railway sleepers.
