This astonishing documentary investigates how an advertising slogan invented by Madison Avenue executives in 1948 has come to define our most intimate and romantic rituals and ideals. The Diamond Empire, which sent shockwaves through the transnational diamond industry when it first appeared, systematically takes apart the myth that "diamonds are forever." It exposes how one white South African family, through a process of monopoly and fantasy, managed to exert control over the global flow of diamonds and change the very way we think about courtship, marriage, and love . an achievement all the more stunning given that diamonds are in fact neither scarce nor imperishable. Zeroing in on how "the diamond empire" managed to convert something valueless into one of the most coveted commodities in history, the film provides a riveting look at how marketing and consumer culture shape not only global trade and economics, but also our very identities.

Deproduction's Patchwork Project
|
Downtown Denver

FREE

|
Downtown Denver - Downtown - Denver - .
Deproduction's Patchwork Project Grant is Seeking Applicants Project Overview: Deproduction is Producing a revolutionary new open-source HD Feature Film project set during the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Following on the vision of Haskell Wexler's 1968 film, Medium Cool, the script will be set in variable settings in and around the DNC. In a unique, participatory Patchwork Production approach, several teams will produce independent shorts ranging from 5 to 25 minutes in length, all relating to a shared theme, and with a number of shared storytelling devices. Some or all of the shorts will then be woven together to comprise a feature-length film, which will be submitted to film festivals across the country. How to Participate: Independent producers are invited to participate in the project at any level, or to propose a short story of their choosing. All shorts must be shot and edited in HD, and while teams are encouraged to use their own equipment, at least 5 teams will be selected to receive equipment and crew support from Deproduction, including HD cameras, lighting, audio, editing resources, and more. To fill out an application go to http://deproduction.org and you will find the application under grant opportunities. Production will begin in late August coinciding with the DNC, but pre-production will begin shortly. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application as soon as possible as the first team meetings will take place during the week of JULY 6TH. Independent Production Grant: Independent producers interested in participating in this project and seeking crew and equipment support are invited to complete the application form at Deproduction.org. At least 4 teams will be selected to receive free crew and production support, as well as access to Deproductions HD production and post-production equipment for the production of their short. In July, Deproduction will be launching a new "crew connection" tool to connect teams with community members interested in participating on their crew. Script Guidelines: Each script must deal with the simple, primary theme of right and wrong, and the concept that life is not clearly divided into good and evil, black and white (or red and blue) and that a society which expects 100% alignment robs its members of any freedom to express themselves or grow. Primary Themes: The Myth of Perfection: Nothing is all bad or all good, no candidate is perfect, but somehow we all think they're supposed to be and do not accept disagreement and debate as healthy. Any effort to be perfect will result only in superficial, shallow self-expression, limiting new ideas, growth, and progress. The Value of Diverse Perspectives: The concept of this project, as well as the stories within it are aimed at demonstrating the validity of different perspectives and judgments. In other words, the project, and the stories within it, are designed to enlighten viewers to the validity of perspectives very different from their own, and to recognize that the concepts of right and wrong are subjective and not universal.
