I think to many people the term 'activist film' implies a film with a single point of view - something designed to provoke outrage and urge action on a particular issue - sort of the film equivalent of a rally. 'If a Tree Falls' is not that kind of film. Marshall Curry

People Single Action Think Rally Tree Kind Something Point Outrage Point Of View Term Implies Particular Sort Equivalent Issue Falls Provoke Urge View Many Activist Film Designed

Sacred play is anything that takes you into that right hemisphere of your brain. It turns out that this move away from left to the right hemisphere, that sense of expansiveness and everything, can be accomplished through unusual rhythmic action, or any action that requires so much attention away from words that you cannot think in words.

The west has been a particularly vigorous exponent of this credo; and there is no reason to believe that China, for example, will be any different. But behind the moral rhetoric invariably lies interest and ideology. Martin Jacques

Old Will Example Power Ideology Action Believe Every Has-Been Moral Lies Seeks Invariably No Reason Almost Major For Example Particularly Hills Always Been West Any Behaviour Behind Different Rhetoric China Interest Justify Reason Grounds Vigorous
