Uranium Film Festival's blog

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.
