International Uranium Film Festival

Dear WEAD Community,

I write to you as the U.S. Coordinator of the International Uranium Film Festival that originates at the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The General Director is Norbert Suchanek, and Executive Director is Marcia Gomes de Oliveira, they have organized Film Festival for three years. Their organization is also compiling the “Yellow Archives” containing over 200 films from countries around the world addressing the ecological, environmental and health impact of radioactive materials.

Last year the Fest traveled from Brazil to Portugal, Berlin and then 10 cities in India. This year the festival will originate in Rio, travel to Nepal, Tibet and India, before coming to the United States for its U.S. premier in Santa Fe, NM, Albuquerque and on the Window Rock Navajo Reservation. There is interest from Canada, Australia, Malawi, Tanzania, South Africa, London and Helsinki.

If you would like to learn more about the Festival, or submit your films or videos for next year, or to discuss possibilities to bring it to YOUR community, please do not hesitate to contact me. Below are some links about the event, as well as the films this year and director information.
