	Hollywood Saves the Planet - USA Feb 2006 A wave of political films with strong social messages are expected to sweep next month's Oscars. Most of them are funded by billionaire Jeff Skoll, who aims to turn movie goers into political activists. "We don't want to preach to anyone. We just want to keep opening discussions", explains George Clooney. His film, 'Syriana' - which examines how America's hunger for oil has warped its foreign policy -- is leading the charge of the 'message movies.' "There are now millions of people thinking about the issue of oil in a way they didn't previously because of Syriana", boasts producer Jeff Skoll. Having made billions founding ebay, Skoll is now using his money to fund political films. He's also behind 'Goodnight and Good Luck', which looks at how civil liberties are eroded by threats to national security and 'North Country', tackling sexual discrimination. "The power of film is incredibly profound. If stories are well told, people will want to get involved", he reasons. With each of his political films, Skoll teams up with lobbyists to push for change. Syriana's director, Steve Gaghan, is ambivalent about this lobbying. "I would keep politics out of art." But for Clooney, it's enough that Hollywood is engaging with important issues. "People are sitting around tables and talking about political issues again." View Video

	O Caçador de Pipas - Trailer Sinopse "Existe uma maneira de voltar a ser bom". Baseado em um dos romances mais aclamados da atualidade, O Caçador de Pipas é uma história profundamente emocionante de amizade, família, erros devastadores e amor redimido. Em um país dividido e à beira da guerra, dois amigos de infância, Amir e Hassan, estão prestes a se separarem para sempre. É uma gloriosa tarde em Kabul e os céus explodem com a alegria contagiante de um torneio de pipas. Mas, depois da vitória daquele dia, um terrível ato de traição de um menino irá marcar suas vidas para sempre e dar início a uma busca épica pela redenção. Agora, depois de viver nos Estados Unidos durante 20 anos, Amir volta para um perigoso Afeganistão, sob o governo mão-de-ferro do Talibã, para enfrentar os segredos que ainda o assombram e aproveitar a única e última ousada chance que tem para consertar as coisas. O diretor nomeado para o Globo de Ouro, Marc Forster (MAIS ESTRANHO QUE A FICÇÃO, EM BUSCA DA TERRA DO NUNCA e A ÚLTIMA CEIA) dá vida ao best-seller de Khaled Hosseini com um elenco e uma equipe global diversificada, misturando um grupo notável de não atores do Afeganistão e da Ásia Central com um experiente elenco internacional. O resultado é uma viagem para um mundo novo -- através de uma história humana universal que sensibiliza qualquer pessoa que alguma vez já desejou ter uma segunda chance para realizar uma mudança e obter o perdão.
