blue vinyl


“Scary and hilarious!" - Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
"That rare muckraking film with a sense of humor." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
BLUE VINYL, recently released on DVD by Docudrama and winner of the Excellence in Cinematography Award at Sundance and nominated for two Emmy Awards (Best Research/Best Documentary), is a deeply personal and vital expose that has been applauded as "scary and hilarious!" (Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times)

Skeptical of her parents' decision to "re-side" their home with vinyl siding (polyvinyl chloride or PVC), Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand set out with award-winning cinematographer/co-director Daniel B. Gold in search of the truth about vinyl, one of the fastest selling plastics in America. With a deep appreciation for irony, a great deal of chutzpah, and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Helfand and Gold travel from suburban Long Island to the vinyl-manufacturing capital of Louisiana and as far as Venice, Italy – where 31 former executives from a PVC-producing company are on trial for manslaughter. Artfully balancing the horror with the humor, unexpected twists with unbelievable turns, BLUE VINYL is a sobering, shockingly funny, uniquely personal exploration into what it takes to be a really educated consumer. www.bluevinyl.org


ABOUT JUDITH HELFAND: Filmmaker, activist and educator Judith Helfand is best known for her ability to take the dark, cynical worlds of chemical exposure and heedless corporate behavior and make them personal, resonant, highly charged, and entertaining. Her films, THE UPRISING OF '34 (POV '95) (Co directed with George Stoney), BLUE VINYL (HBO 2002) (for which she and Co- Director Daniel Gold were nominated for two Emmy's), and its Peabody award winning "prequel" A HEALTHY BABY GIRL (POV '97) (a five-year "video-diary" about her experience with DES related cancer), explore home, class, corporate accountability, intergenerational relationships and the ever shrinking border between what is "personal" and what is a critical part of the public record.
Building on a decade of developing innovative outreach and organizing efforts around the distribution of her own films, Helfand co-founded Working Films in 1999, a national organization dedicated to leveraging the power and reach of documentaries to strategically support long-term social change. She speaks widely and passionately about this work in North America and internationally, and is full-time faculty at New York University's Undergraduate School of Film and Television. Concurrently with producing and co-directing MELTING PLANET, she is developing a feature documentary about the1995 heat wave that ravaged the city of Chicago leaving 739 people dead in a matter of days.

ABOUT CINEWOMEN NY SCREENS

Opportunities to screen work are important to any filmmaker, especially women filmmakers.
To promote women working in film, CineWomen NY is partnered with The Pioneer Theater, a showplace of Independent Cinema. Our monthly screening series is held the fourth Tuesday of every month except for December and August. Our commitment is to provide a slate of films, by emerging artists at all levels, celebrating the work of women in film, video, and digital media. Acceptance criteria include women behind the scenes informing the project as crew and cast, whether as producers, directors, writers, editors, and/or cinematographers. Filmmakers are encouraged to be present at the screenings for a Q&A offering a lively interaction with the audience followed by a beer and pizza party held in the Two Boots Den Of Cin. A great way to carry on further conversations with the filmmakers, network and meet like- minded cinemaphiles.
