Tokyo or No Tokyo?
The Cove would seem like a good choice to screen at this year's Tokyo International Film Festival.
The eco-doc is about saving the Earth. TIFF's theme this year is "Action for Earth."
The Cove highlights a secret taking place in southern Japan.
A recurring theme we hear is that the Japanese people should know about what happens in Taiji.
Yet somehow, six weeks before the festival's scheduled start, there is still no word yet on the final line up.
The buzz begins as people hope jury head, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu takes a stand.
Should get interesting.
Louie on the Air
The Cove director, Louie Psihoyos has been getting some airtime lately.
In New York, he taped a brisk but brilliant segment of The Today Show.
In his hometown of Boulder, he was a guest on the popular radio program, E Town, scheduled to air nationally on NPR sometime in October.
He did his first live Spinnio Facebook chat. That was wild fun. Questions. Comments. Kudos. And Boris.
And next week, tune in at 8 PM Eastern on Monday, 8/24 for another Q and A on Firedoglake.
