Permaculture: A Quiet Revolution by Vanessa Schulz
The video is finally available online at http://www.21paradigm.com/permaculture.php
In May 2007, the 8th International Permaculture Convergence (IPC8) www.ipc8.org
was held in Brazil, bringing together visionary activists from around
the world. New to Permaculture, Vanessa Schulz spent a month in
Brazil attending the conference and later visiting four ground
breaking Permaculture Centers, learning permaculture in settings both
urban and rural, in the beautiful and varied landscape of
Brazil. From the enormous metropolitan city of Sao Paulo, to the
Cerrado (savannah) in central Brazil, to the heart of Amazonia, and
finally the historic Bahia region, the story of Permaculture is told.
The film discusses mainstream media's failure to provide accurate
news of the world's dire environmental predicament, and some of the
strategies permaculturists propose, giving critical inspiration
needed to turn our backs on what is failing us. Permaculture
(PERMAnent CULTURE) is a design system based on ecological principles
for creating sustainable human environments and is a whole systems
approach suggesting positive solutions for a rapidly changing world.
Vanessa Schulz, originally from South Africa, began freelancing in
the film industry in 1994 while attending Cape Town Film & Television
School. After emigrating to the United States she began working for
for NBC, Fox, National Geographic, and the Discovery Channel. She
founded 21st Paradigm ( www.21paradigm.com), an independent media
company committed to airing subject matter difficult and often times
ignored by main stream media. Her documentary Call of Freedom, a
film about the re-introduction of wolves to Idaho in the 1990's,
generating heated controversy, shows all the intensity of the
passions that motivate all sides of the wolf issue. It garnered many
awards including Best Documentary at the Female Eye Film Festival
(2003), Merit for Conservation Advocacy award at the International
Wildlife Film Festival (2003), and Official Selection, Banff Mountain
Film Festival World Tour (2004-5).
