Siberia-Chukotka, Russia
Year : 2015
Length : 22 min.
Format : 4K ProRes 422 HQ
Synopsis :
This project at the Russian Far East, namely the Siberian regions of Chukotka and Beringia,
was inspired by local raven folk tales. The "Chukchi" people showed us "Yaranga",
their tents out of the cities. On our way we saw Eskimos ancient housing made of whale bones.
To the North pole and Arctic regions we took meat and bread as sacrificial offerings to
nature and the ravens to thank them for their protection during the trip.
There is a junction where the Arctic Circle crosses the 180th meridian.
The latter runs vertically to set the basis for the International Date Line, which separates two consecutive calendar days.
With support of
Red Cross Chukotka Russia, Nortoco Northern tourist company Russia, Beringia National Park Russia

Synopsis :
EN : I have heard about the "holets", the elves who live in the forest and lose the walkers by sending them on bad paths.
They play tricks on them and send them into traps. But these are things that are only said halfway through for fear of being heard.
FR : J'ai entendu parler des "holets" ces elfes qui habitent la forêt et perdent les promeneurs en les envoyant
sur de mauvais chemins Ils leur jouent des tours et les envoient dans des pièges. Mais ce sont des choses que
l'on dit seulement à mi-mot de peur d'être entendu.

Synopsis
New Ainu law passed, specifying "indigenous people" for the first time, April 19, 2019
The new Ainu law, which clearly states for the first time that the Ainu people are an
"indigenous people," was adopted by a majority vote at a plenary session of the Upper House on March 19.
The new law, which replaces the Ainu Culture Promotion Act,
prohibits discrimination and includes the creation of a new grant system to support tourism and industry.
The new law aims to create a society in which the pride of the Ainu people is respected, and includes easing restrictions
on traditional fishing methods.
There is also a growing international demand for consideration for indigenous peoples.
The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism stressed the significance of the new law at a press conference
after the Cabinet meeting on March 19, saying,
"Maintaining the honor and dignity of the Ainu people as an ethnic group and passing this on to
the next generation is important for the realization of a vibrant, harmonious society in which diverse values coexist in harmony.
On the 18th, the House of Councillors Committee on Land and Transportation unanimously adopted a supplementary resolution
