- Martin, an 83-year-old industrious man, will embark on a unique journey at 14.000 ft through the deserted highlands of the Argentine Andes mountains. Plan C-14 II blends an air of melancholy and beauty as we admire the life of Martin Pueyrredon. He's 83 years old and has recently lost his wife of 60 years, followed by his best friend and traveling partner, with whom his outdoor adventures had taken on profound meaning. Their deaths leave him empty, even as he declares himself a "happy old man." He continues to work his engineering job, lays flowers on his wife's grave, and trains for another long adventure-this time, solo. It is important to have plans, he says. He is running out of time and against all odds and Doctor's recommendations, he is determined to have one last adventure before the end. His love and dedication for traveling are stronger than any medical diagnosis. Amid the windswept plains, canyons, dirt roads and high mountain passes of the Argentinean Andes, Pueyrredon repeats the final journey he made with his departed friend, bicycling alone for five days to a viaduct at 14,000 feet, guided by his memory. The film's most moving scene will challenge the dry eyes of even the sternest stoic. "I don't feel they are gone," Pueyrredon says of his wife and friend. "What we realize through this film is that our most profound journeys can happen at any time in life - and perhaps the later we take them, the more rich and meaningful they become. And, no matter the challenges we face in life, there is always joy to be found - even in the most fleeting moments." * Rebecca Martin, jury member
- "The Dark Side of Green" is an independent production done with no public resources, neither sponsorship from private companies or NGOs. worked associated: An Baccaert, a Belgian TV reporter, Cristiano Navarro, a Brazilian journalist and Nico Muñoz, an Argentinian cinematographic reporter. Our Directors executed an innovative outreach campaign: the Guarani Kaiowa communities who shared their stories in the film were given ownership of broadcast rights and succeeded in negotiating sales with the Brazilian government as well as global NGOs, which translated the work into several languages. Physical copies were distributed at the United Nations Rio+20 Climate Conference in 2012. The tribes continue to use the film as material to further the cause of land protection. The movie started being filmed in the communities in the south of Mato Grosso do Sul, on April of 2008, and counted on the support from the Association of Guarani Kaiowá Teachers and from the NGOs Missionary Indigenist Council (CIMI) and Foodfirst Information and Action Network (Fian International). Its completion, done in an "almost handmade" way, was concluded on January of 2011. The most part of the information found out in the communities, with public institutions and with farmers associations are a part of the investigation works that Navarro develops since 2002. Seven background songs were composed specially for the documentary by Thomas Leonhardt. The hip-hop band "Bro'w", that sings the song "No Yankee", is formed by youths from the Guarani Kaiowá communities of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. The Portuguese narration was done by the Brazilian samba singer Fabiana Cozza. The documentary also have Spanish, French, English and Dutch narrations. More than compete in festivals showing their work, the authors of the film have the expectation of using the documentary to make an international denounce about the serious situation that live the Guarani Kaiowá people, supporting this way their struggle for the recovering of their traditional territory.
