Expanding Reality: The New Science of Consciousness. A FILM BY MICHEL PASCAL In this movie, we discover the new science of consciousness and the emergence of the post-materialist paradigm. This paradigm is leading us to the next great scientific revolution. Interviews with visionary scientists from a variety of fields (physics, neuroscience, biology, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, psi research), gathered in Tucson, Arizona, to create the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, represent a central element of this movie. But this movie is not only based on interviews, and it is much more than an ordinary documentary film. Indeed, the combination of the conversations with the colors and the music produces a very uplifting experience. The fact that Nature is watching us, instead of us watching Nature, also contributes to create such an experience. By the end of the movie, we feel an expansion of our consciousness, our perception of life, and our sense of reality. We also realize that we are connected with the Universe as a whole.

The steel line of sex and tension is palpable throughout this harrowing and heart-stirring Hollywood romance between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner. It's 1949 and Sinatra, the former king of swoon who once enchanted millions of "bobby soxers", is at the downturn of his career as the once golden "Voice" is now compromised by a hemorrhage to his vocal cords while his reputation is lambasted by the press who parade his alleged Mafia connections, liberal sympathies, and extramarital affairs. In the midst of his despair, he falls hard and fast for Gardner, MGM's sultry starlet with whom he shares proclivities for passion, whiskey, obstinacy, and sexual infidelities. Equal to his desire to maintain the interest of the mercurial Gardner, is his almost sacred infatuation aimed at attaining the role of Private Angelo Maggio in Columbia Picture's From Here to Eternity, the sole ray of hope in salvaging his career. An acknowledged long shot due to his questionable acting chops and heretofore box office bombs, Sinatra actively campaigns for the role while divorcing his wife, Nancy, and entering a sexually charged, but suspicion-filled marriage with Gardner that is marked by infidelities, Ava's abortions and Frank's suicide attempts as their hapless romance is parodied by the press who play them off each other. Acclaimed director, Michael Oblowitz, impeccably stylized the film, using locations in Rome, Italy, Hollywood, CA and Sinatra's Palm Springs home to bring Frank and Ava to life. In addition to introducing Rico Simonini and Emily Elicia Low in the title roles, the film also features Eric Roberts, Lukas Haas, Richard Portnow, Domenick Lombardozzi, Neil Sandilands, Jonathan Silverman, Terry Moore and the legendary Harry Dean Stanton; in his last feature film appearance.

The Mother Grain is a photo-book and documentary project about the rapid rise in popularity of quinoa and is focused on the lives and methods of the local Aymara and Quechua Bolivian farmers, who are descended from the Incas. Their Incan ancestors grew quinoa in the same area of the Andes Mountains as today's farmers, and treated the grain with religious reverence. Even though Spanish Conquistadors of the 16th Century suppressed quinoa growth, cultivation and honoring of the food continued in small isolated communities until the present day. As the international consumption of quinoa rises, we look at how this increased demand is affecting the farmers. Bear Witness Pictures travelled to Bolivia and the quinoa growing communities surrounding the Salar de Uyuni, witnessing their lives first hand as we tell the story of quinoa from the perspective of the farmer.
