Docurama Premieres Breathtaking Documentary
Vivan Las Antipodas at Gateway Film Center
in Columbus on Monday, April 29
Victor Kossakovskys movie is a feast for the senses, a fascinating kaleidoscope of our planet. ¡VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS! Long Live The Antipodes!
Every screening begins with a 3-minute short film from GE FOCUS FORWARD and is followed by a pre-taped Q&A with Mr. Kossakovsky
COLUMBUS Russian director Victor Kossakovskys kaleidoscopic documentary VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS juxtaposes tranquil landscapes of Argentina with the clamor of Shanghai two of eight antipodes explored in this beautifully rendered world-spanning film.
VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS will premiere in Columbus at the Gateway Film Center on Monday, April 29 at 7:30 PM. The film will also screen on Sunday, May 5 at 1:00 PM.
Prior to this premiere, the first film in the Docurama series, G-DOG, screens this Sunday, April 28 at 1:00 PM.
The theatrical release of VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS in 15 U.S. markets during the week of April 29is the second film in Cinedigms (NASDAQ: CIDM) new DOCURAMA multi-platform film brand and inaugural series of national theatrical screening events. The DOCURAMA film series is attracting national attention for its unique series that is bringing 7 award-winning documentary films in 7 weeks, from April 22 through June 16.
Film critic Christopher Campbell wrote at Movies.com that the wonderfully mind blowing film will literally have you seeing things in a new way.
VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where it was an opening night film. The film screened in the U.S. in 2012 at SXSW Film, won the Cinematic Vision Award at the AFIs Silverdocs (now AFI Docs) and received the True Vision Award at the True/False Film Festival.
What is the shortest route between Entre Ríos in Argentina and the Chinese metropolis Shanghai? Simply a straight line through the center of the earth, since the two places are antipodes: they are located diametrically opposite to each other on the earths surface.
During his visits to four such antipodal pairs, Kossakovsky captured images that turn our view of the world upside down. A beautiful, peaceful sunset in Entre Ríos is contrasted with the bustling streets in rainy Shanghai. People who live in a wasteland are connected to people dwelling next to a volcano. Landscapes whose splendor touches the soul are juxtaposed with the clamor of a vast city. These antipodes seem mythically connected, somehow united by their oppositeness.
In partnership with GE FOCUS FORWARD-Short Films, Big Ideas, a curatorial program inspired by GEs vision of innovative people being the catalyst for world change, DOCURAMA will present a 3-minute short documentary with each feature film that has a complementary theme or subject matter. Remote Area Medical, from filmmakers Jeff Reichert & Farihah Zaman, will be shown before every screening of VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS. Over three days in April 2012, Remote Area Medical, the pioneers of no-cost health care clinics, treated nearly 2000 patients on the infield of Bristol, Tennessees massive NASCAR speedway. Every screening of VIVAN LAS ANTIPODAS will be followed by a pre-taped Q&A with the director.
