Well, we've just heard back from the Vail International Film Festival, where FLOW won the top prize for Best Documentary.  We also won Best Human Interest Film at the Flagstaff Film Festival, and we're now closing in on theatrical distribution in the US. 

According to the Associated Press, a vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.

Breaking  news:  FLOW: For Love of Water will be the closing night film at the Full Frame Festival at the beginning of April, and on top of that, we'll not only be playing the opening weekend of the San Francisco International Film Festival (end of April), but we're organizing a major water educational panel with the programmers at SFIFF that will have international water experts discussing water across a lot of territory. We'll get specific dates/times up as soon as we have them.  On we go!

FLOW: For Love Of Water came to Lincoln Center Tuesday night, the reaction was fantastic. Isa Cucinotta and the rest of the crew from the Film Society of Lincoln Center made us feel right at home, and almost all of the several hundred people who came stayed for the Q & A and the reception afterward. 

What follows is the interview Amy Goodman did with Maude Barlow for DemocracyNow! yesterday morning. Maude has a brand new book, Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water.  

News Flash from Bombay– FLOW: For Love Of Water has won the International Jury Prize at the 2008 Mumbai Film Festival! 

From The MIFF Festival Website: 

Well, we're back from Sundance.

Our festival experience was truly unforgettable, one amazing moment after another. People came from everywhere to be part of our world premiere; the award for Those-That-Came-From-The-Furthest-Away surely goes to Christophe Julien and Pablo de Silva, our composer and cinematographer. They both flew in all the way from Paris.

So here we are. 36 days from Sundance. Our site is up, Irena’s hard at work in the editing room, in a final push to the finish.

It’s kind of hard to believe that 5 years ago this month, Irena and I started talking about her vision for a film about water. She was impassioned, amazed that the whole world didn’t see what she saw, what was happening to this life-giving force.
