The adventure of a lifetime begins…
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès, from an original idea by producer Alain Chabat, Babies simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. The children are, respectively, in order of on-screen introduction: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco.
Re-defining the nonfiction art form, Babies joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.
There will be a community talkback after the 6:25 PM Sunday screening of Babies. The talkback will be facilitated by Filmmaker Vicki Elson who has been teaching childbirth education classes for 27 years, as well as training childbirth educators for various local, national, and international organizations. Her film, "Laboring Under an Illusion: Mass Media Childbirth vs. the Real Thing" is available on DVD, and in it, Elson explores media-generated myths about childbirth. The results, she says, is hilarious, engaging, and enlightening. As a volunteer educator and doula, she works with the Green River Doula Network, Baystate Medical Center, and the Prison Birth Project. She has three grown children and two grandchildren.
