L’ARTIQUE EST PARIS
A Public Service Announcement envisioned by Visual Artist, Mel Chin for COP21. Directors Mel Chin & Tim Sternberg. Production Company Full Moon Films. Producers Corinne Weber & Phillip Dugay. Director of Photography Ben Premeaux. Sound Regis Muller.
The Arctic Is delivers an urgent message from Inuit hunter Jens Danielsen to the world. It was filmed in Paris during the monumental climate talks in 2015 and right after the devastating attacks in the city that are only a harbinger of the chaos to come … unless we act.
Jens tells us that the extreme changes in climate he is seeing now will affect people around the world as clearly as the Inuit culture of northern Greenland. We are not separate; we are connected. The Arctic is Paris. The Arctic is Des Moines. The Arctic is Nairobi. The Arctic is Beijing. The Arctic is Aleppo. The Arctic is ____ your town.
