Ashes and Snow
Ashes and Snow, a film by Gregory Colbert, uses both still and movie cameras to explore extraordinary interactions between humans and animals. The 60-minute feature is a poetic narrative rather than a documentary. It aims to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species, dissolving the distance that exists between them.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Sorry, this movie sucks
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Ashes and Snow is unbelievable. Gregory Colbert has inspired me to try and express myself and expand my horizons to try and find the worlds he explored while filming this movie. To this day I am shocked that Gregory Colbert was able to document such gorgeous places. Who knew our galaxy even possessed such paradises of beauty. They're untouched, unaffected by colonialists' damage, and appear to only be occupied by these cultures of cohabiting animals and people. It is a true paradise. Gregory Colbert offers us an opportunity to travel, if only for an hour, without leaving the comforts of a our home to these wonderful places and experience such beautiful both underwater and dessert worlds. If you dream of adventure and beauty in the worlds outside our civilized worlds, look no further.
I first experienced ashes and snow in Mexico city at it's traveling home "the nomadic museum" A unique way to see this world through the eye of a lens, I most say that as soon as I started to watch the film I could not get my eyes of it. I love the rhythm of film and find that the footage is totally incredible. Seeing this film has change my life, I can fell that the counteraction between man and animal still exist in such ways that was only imaginable in a very distant past. Now I realize that there are still good little enjoyable things are still around PD: Colbert's film is far too good to be described with simple words.
What a stunning piece of art. As a filmmaker myself, I truly admire the technique involved in making Ashes and Snow. The composition is perfect. I love how it is edited slowly, rather than rapidly, so that viewers feel like they are entering into a transitional space. I think that Colbert is a visionary, and his work will be admired into the future.The film is an awe-inspiring study of the relationships between humans and animals. It is a perfect escape from my normal life and routine. It's like escaping to a world that I can otherwise only visit in my dreams. Every time I have a slow moment at work, I watch clips from the film.I highly recommend Ashes and Snow to everyone. For every holiday and birthday, I give it as a gift to my friends. It is truly a masterpiece.
What a piece of Art! a real masterpiece. That was the first thing i said after watching this film, i even paused a lot of times just to enjoy the beauty of the shot in front of me. To me; it's a film about life or the world as i would like it to be, it really takes you away from all the chaos, the traffic, the rush and all what's forming our modern life as we know it, and puts you in a piece of heaven, giving u an insight on how humans can live bound to other creatures in harmony, real harmony and how it really feels like to be free and really enjoying the beauty of this world. i so can't wait to see Gregory Colbert's new film.
