Phi Phi Oanh’s Specula would have no difficulty in holding its own there. In fact it would be a stand out. She is obviously an artist who will have a successful international future.

Thanks for putting it up. At the time of submission we sent a rushed email to the offices in London, as we were running out of time with the deadline, roughly outlining what the film is about. It was a personal email, meant only as a draft and not for publication on any website. Hence, we have enclosed below the 100 word description of our film we completed later. If possible, could you please update your info as we have noticed some spelling mistakes. Also the emil address has got capitals. The sight has litterally gone up and the address like this works fine www.ecoplazaparadiseoasis.com . The longer version will be completed over the next couple of days. If you prefer to keep the other description then please correct our mistakes, oops. Thank you very much. Ecoplaza Paradise Oasis....plan b to save the planet Denmark, 2038. - A rollercoaster ride charting our adventure to save the planet. In times of flood we built arks to save nature... A win/win pact between governments, and NGO's leads to the creation of lifestyle centres worldwide, from Soweto to New Orleans. Ecoplazas, combining like an immune system for the Earth. They address climate change and many social ills simultaneously. Through multi-layered eco/monics, new stratas of the low carbon economy get established. The first climate change film with a happy ending. This film introduces a new branch of socio/ecological science. Made in a solar powered studio. Warm wishes, Kinga Monica co-producer Dear ArtCulture Team,

Ecoplaza Paradise Oasis….plan b to save the planet

Denmark, 2038. – A rollercoaster ride charting our adventure to save the planet. In times of flood we built arks to save nature… A win/win pact between governments, and NGO’s leads to the creation of lifestyle centres worldwide, from Soweto to New Orleans. Ecoplazas, combining like an immune system for the Earth. They address climate change and many social ills simultaneously. Through multi-layered eco/monics, new stratas of the low carbon economy get established. The first climate change film with a happy ending. This film introduces a new branch of socio/ecological science. Made in a solar powered studio.

Warm wishes,
Kinga Monica

The concept is to present a series of rainforest tree stumps as a ‘ghost forest’ – using the negative space created by the missing trunks as a climate change art metaphor, the absence representing the removal of the world’s ‘lungs’ through continued deforestation. Ghost Forest will be installed in Thorvaldsens Plads, Copenhagen 7-18 December 2009 during the Cop15 UN Climate Change Conference.

First climate change film made in a solar powered studio and with a happy ending. Yes we save the planet and this outlines how. We are due to complete a film in time for the conference however we have been offered no way to present this to date. We are desperate to show this work as it answers one of the most pivital questions for the first time. How do we transform our lifestyles internationally in order to meet the mneeds of climate change. This work is based upon eigteen years research and market testing and provides a whole new method, based upon the latest sociological science in how to rapidly get results in a far more effective way than through attempting to get governments to agree targets before radical transformative action to take place. If you can help through offering a venue either official or not for this most important workj to be seen then it would be very much appreciated, for all enquiries regarding possible presentation or distribution of this half hour film please contact us. A traler will be up on our website over the next few days.. Plan b to save the world from climate change….Ecoplaza Paradise Oasis.
