Sky Islands (2020)

★★★ — Sky Islands (2020)

Sky Islands is a six-minute short documentary produced through a collaboration between Dreamcast Theater Solomon Islands, a community-rooted filmmaking outfit based in Honiara, and Nia Tero, a Seattle-based organisation focused on supporting Indigenous land guardianship storytelling. The film was made collectively by nine Indigenous filmmakers from the Solomon Islands, a production approach that is more cooperative than conventional. Released in 2020, it sits within a modest but meaningful wave of Indigenous-led environmental documentary work that gained real traction in that period, as global attention to both climate vulnerability and Indigenous land rights intensified. The Solomon Islands, as a Pacific nation acutely exposed to rising sea levels and deforestation pressures, provides a particularly pointed backdrop for a film about mountain forests under threat.

A-Z World Movie Tour Solomon Islands https://vimeo.com/395848743 A 6 minute long documentary created by 9 indigenous tribespeople of the Solomon islands. We're provided a glimpse into their day to day lives in this pristine forest and their connection to the land, the plants and the animals. It's accompanied by some beautiful local music. Cinematography is great. Overall I really liked it. Could have been alot longer though.

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off.
