Synopsis

Ashes and Snow, a film by Gregory Colbert, uses both still and movie cameras to explore extraordinary interactions between humans and animals. The 60-minute feature is a poetic narrative rather than a documentary. It aims to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species, dissolving the distance that exists between them.

NYCman75 I wasn't sure what to expect, but was so very pleased with the film and the message. I just recently saw Ashes and Snow, even though Colbert's work is popular and well known in Manhattan (where I live). The images of animals and humans was both startling and soothing. I was moved by the message of equality and hope that Colbert's meaning isn't lost on others, especially now in this time of Hope and Change. It's an interesting movie and one that will inspire western civilizations to look within them to try and make a more positive impact and connection with the natural world. Take a chance and check out this film: I hope that it'll have the same positive, reflective effect on your life as it did on my own.
lawnfurniture Ashes and Snow is unbelievable. Gregory Colbert has inspired me to try and express myself and expand my horizons to try and find the worlds he explored while filming this movie. To this day I am shocked that Gregory Colbert was able to document such gorgeous places. Who knew our galaxy even possessed such paradises of beauty. They're untouched, unaffected by colonialists' damage, and appear to only be occupied by these cultures of cohabiting animals and people. It is a true paradise. Gregory Colbert offers us an opportunity to travel, if only for an hour, without leaving the comforts of a our home to these wonderful places and experience such beautiful both underwater and dessert worlds. If you dream of adventure and beauty in the worlds outside our civilized worlds, look no further.
randymlm I first experienced ashes and snow in Mexico city at it's traveling home "the nomadic museum" A unique way to see this world through the eye of a lens, I most say that as soon as I started to watch the film I could not get my eyes of it. I love the rhythm of film and find that the footage is totally incredible. Seeing this film has change my life, I can fell that the counteraction between man and animal still exist in such ways that was only imaginable in a very distant past. Now I realize that there are still good little enjoyable things are still around PD: Colbert's film is far too good to be described with simple words.
Kaloyan Nedelchev Ashes and Snow is a poem of spectacular images. It's a tale, a legend. It's a movie about the human beings and their being, about the returning to Eden, about the beauty of remembrance.The pictures tell a story about being free. The text behind - tells a poetry.It's a slow moving film shoot with hi-speed camera. Wide lenses. Ahromatic. With imposing composition. Perfectly choreographed. Lots of underwater shooting.There is a dictors voice, a Laurence Fishburne's voice, who have done it well. We can say - it's near to movies like Baraka, Chronos, Koyannisqatsi, Powaqatsi, Genesis...This Documentarie is like photo album of human imagination and desire. I hope Gregory Colbert will reach another peak with his second movie.And of course - music by Lisa Gerrard!
