XVII GRAN PARADISO FILM FESTIVAL 2013
LIFE SIZE MEMORIES WINS THE "MARISA CACCIALANZA AWARD" OF THE XVII GRAN PARADISO FILM FESTIVAL!!!
La giuria tecnica, presieduta dal noto etologo Danilo Mainardi, ha assegnato il Premio Marisa Caccialanza (pari a Euro 1.500): “Life size memories” (Ricordi a grandezza naturale) di Frederique Lengaigne e Klaus Reisinger (Austria 2012). Motivazione: Film a tratti spietato, duro e violento, ma proprio per questo capace di risvegliare sentimenti di amore e di compassione per una natura forte e libera che rischia di diventare soltanto un “ricordo a grandezza naturale”. Straordinario e commovente il gesto di consolazione della madre per il figlio torturato.

Motivation: Movies at times ruthless, hard and rough, but that is capable of awakening feelings of love and compassion for a strong and free nature that is likely to become only a "life-sized memory." Extraordinary and moving gesture of consolation of the mother for her son tortured. http://www.gpff.it/it/news/2013/i-vincitori

Two photojournalists bring a large format camera to Southeast Asia to portray Asian elephants living in captivity and to record their biographies.

Life Size Memories (2011)
Klaus Reisinger & Frédérique Lengaigne
(120 min., color, Blu-Ray, US)
Sunday, March 25, 2012
Union South Marquee Theater

Too often we view wild animals as generic representatives of their species. But Life Size Memories attempts to change all that, discovering individual beings that stand out in human consciousness. The film follows two experienced war photojournalists who train their lenses on the elephants in war zones across southeast Asia to create life-sized photographic portraits of the individuals. What do these portraits augur for the fate of the elephant? Reisinger and Lengaigne's beautiful film travels to four different nations to find a complicated answer -- that regional variations in both human and elephant cultures will ultimately determine which individuals live and which become mere faded memories.
