About The Film Garbage Warrior
Director: Oliver Hodge

What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you're renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of "Earthship Biotecture" by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business. Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site. While politicians hum and ha, Mother Nature strikes, leaving communities devastated by tsunamis and hurricanes. Reynolds and his crew seize the opportunity to lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is a timely portrait of a determined visionary, a hero of the 21st century.

MODWOMEN INTERVIEW

Renowned fashion journalist Diane Pernet is an iconic style heroine to fans around the world. Working for such heavyweights like Elle.com and VogueParis.com, the woman known for her towering beehive wrapped in a black veil, cat-eye sunglasses and scarlet red lips is the creative juice behind "A Shaded View on Fashion", one of world's most influential fashion blogs.

Credited for unearthing up-and-comers and her insider’s take on edgy fashion events all across the globe, Pernet has been a designer, a critic, a talent scout and a photographer.

In 2008 Pernet launched Paris’ first annual A Shaded View on Fashion Film Festival at the famed Jeu de paume museum.

"The idea of fashion in movement as opposed to a static photo series in a magazine has always intrigued me," said Pernet, who co-edits ZOO magazine when she's not working on ashadedviewonfashion.com.

Showcasing films from designers, photographers, stylists and people from all walks of the industry, Pernet’s three-day event delivered features and shorts that thrilled diehard fashionistas.
