Fire Tower (2024) Douban
director: Tova Krentzman
High in the Rocky Mountains, nestled in the boreal forest, are solitary sentinels who survey the landscape as a critical first line of defence in wildfire detection. As North America grapples every year with the threat and devastation of such fires, which is increasing due to climate change, those who work the watchtowers with a bird’s-eye view sound the critical alarm that warns of impending danger. Like the occupations of lighthouse keeper or astronaut, the remote locations and voluntary isolation that are part of the job—along with the very real risk of being struck by lightning—attract a unique kind of individual to this vocation. Director Tova Krentzman crafts a portrait of these guardians that is as nuanced and stunning as the northern landscape, observing the observers as they share their keen insights about the natural world and our connection to it, and how their separation from an accelerated culture gives them an appreciation for this increasingly rare job that is being reshaped by encroaching technologies.

Standing Above the Clouds (2024) Douban
director: Jalena Keane-Lee
Jalena Keane-Lee’s newest doc is a witness to history, poised at the centre of the global movement to protect Mauna Kea, the famed Hawaiian mountain, as it faces the proposal of having another telescope built on it. Standing Above the Clouds connects to the detrimental environmental and cultural impact telescopes have had on the sacred mountain and on Native Hawaiians. Pua Case and her daughters, Hawane Rios and Kapulei Flores, are joined by Mehana Kihoi and Leina’ala Sleightholm, all of whom put their bodies on the line in protest. In the process, they reveal that, while victory is not assured, the perseverance of a movement and the intergenerational healing of this sisterhood is a vital result. Told through direct-action footage and archival material, this is an inspiring adventure delivered with passion and integrity that offers vital lessons in the art of protest.
