CHATTANOOGA, TN/BOSTON, MA (September 28, 2017) — Arise Media/Archipelago Films, SK Films and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios are thrilled to announce Backyard Wilderness took home five prestigious Achievement Awards at the Giant Screen Cinema Association’s (GSCA) 2018 conference.
As of June 4, 2018, Voyager 1 is the most distant man-made object from Earth, being over 13.2 billion miles from the sun, and traveling at a rate of 10 miles per second. The Farthest tells the complete story of the Voyager mission. More than that, it’s a beautiful and inspiring documentary about man’s fascination with space travel, and the wonderment of what we know awaits us in the cosmos.
The top honor of the festival, the Green Fire Award, is granted to The Serengeti Rules by filmmaker Nicholas Brown. This beautifully shot and poignant film shares the story of a band of young scientists and their time in the most remote and spectacular places on Earth. Driven by their insatiable curiosity about how nature works, they discover a single set of “rules” that govern all life.
"Inventing Tomorrow” takes a personal look at some scientists — not of the accredited adult variety but teenagers, international students working on projects to make things better. They are “the people who can fix it, and who are going to fix it,” one of them says at the film’s opening.
