The first 10 films selected - 2nd INTERNATIONAL URANIUM FILM FESTIVAL RIO DE JANEIRO 2012
Press Release December 21, 2011
Until December 2011, the 2nd International Uranium Film Festival received more than 40 documentaries, shorts and features from all continents about nuclear issues - from uranium mining to atomic bomb tests, from Chernobyl to Fukushima. We received films from famous directors like Peter Greenaway as well as productions from newcomers like the Italian filmmaker Riccardo Migliore, who is living and filming in the Brazilian state Paraiba.
Although the Uranium Film Festival Call for Entry is still open until January 31th, the Festival Team has already selected the first 10 films for the fesival screenings and the competions in Rio de Janeiro, scheduled for June/July 2012.
Peter Greenaway´s impressive shortfilm "Atomic Bombs on the Planet Earth" about the nuclear bomb tests between 1945 and 1980, Riccardo Migliore´s film "Once Upon a Time in the Atomic City" about high incidences of cancer and rumours of a hidden uranium mine in a village of Paraiba and Tobe Carey´s film "Indian Point - Nowhere to Run" about New York´s nuclear power plant are the first three films selected to screen at the 2012 International Uranium Film Festival of Rio de Janeiro. Until March 2012 the Uranium Film Festival will select further 30 films for the screenings and the competitions.
