Extinction Rebellion: How Normal Was Normal?

A one-minute film for Extinction Rebellion to announce the activist group’s ‘No Going Back’ campaign.

Extinction Rebellion is once again giving voice to global dissatisfaction – this time around returning to ‘normal’. Stating that the challenge of addressing the pandemic is inseparable from the climate and ecological emergency – both must be addressed in tandem to secure a safe future for all. The activist group asks the public to take part in a series of silent protests on Saturday 30 May at 12 noon. The protest has been designed so that people are physically distanced at 3 metres apart, with Extinction Rebellion asking that everyone wear protective masks in order to take part and only travel walking or cycling distance.

Posing the question, ‘How Normal was Normal?’, the film was shot in Sydney, Australia during the lockdown and juxtaposes the beauty of empty streets, restaurants and offices with oppressive sounds of the madness of a pre-lockdown “normal” life. It examines everything from political lies to consumerism, excessive greed, the climate crisis, and advertising.

StopVEO: The words I won't say

Recently voted in France (40 years after European countries like Sweden), the law for the educational violence abolition (slapping, spanking, pinching, humiliation) states that parental authority is exercised without physical or psychological violence and prohibits all Ordinary Educational Violence. Beyond the law, and after centuries of existence, habits persist in French homes. It is the mission of the StopVEO association to support parents towards awareness and good parenting. But how to raise parents aware of the harmful effects of such violence, without making them feel guilty and question their whole education method?

Publicis Conseil has designed a 3’10’’ film of a rare emotion that moves deeply and goes far beyond telling parents the right way to educate. Brilliantly directed by Laura Sicouri (Insurrection), the film stages a very strong relationship between a mother and her child, through two temporalities, a present and a dream up, that evoke that it is possible not to be violent.

This film questions us about what we lose when we give in to educational violence while making an ode to the love for children. When people use educational violence, they give up communication with their child and reduce one of the strongest relationships to a nonconstructive gesture. The film entitled “The words I won’t say ” illustrates this moment of loss sharing.
