'El Pilar'

By

"El Pilar" is a new release on the pioneering practice of "archaeology under the canopy," which bolsters modern-day practices of sustainable, garden-style forest agriculture. The ancient technique of rainforest gardens offers an alternative source of revenue and a continuous supply of food, medicine and other resources to vulnerable Mayan communities living near the long-disputed border of Guatemala and Belize.
Dr. Anabel Ford is credited with the discovery of El Pilar, an ancient city of 20,000 (at its peak) that flourished for nearly 2,000 years with its gardens, temples and monuments all beneath its natural tree cover. Ford and others hope to promote the site as a tourist attraction, supporting the farming practice and creating the first archaeological "peace park" in the process, as these Central American nations cooperate for their mutual benefit.

US PREMIERE "Faith In the Big House" Tu esday, April 25th, 2017 “Faith in the Big House” US PREMIERE at the historic Fourth Presbyterian Church located on Chicago’s illustrious Magnificent Mile as part of the official selection of the (In)Justice For All Film Festival. The (In)Justice For All Film Festival Arriving at the height of mass incarceration in the United States, the (In)Justice For All Film Festival came equipped with an arsenal of information to confront failing police policies, jam-packed prisons, and rampant racism in our criminal justice system.

Interlock Media is deeply honored to have contributed to this significant event. We would like to highlight the tremendous efforts put forth by the festival organizers a

Having Faith This anthropologically-informed social comment on the tug of war between secular and faith-based rehab in America’s prisons is now in picture lock. We were lucky enough last week to house a brilliant Nucoda Film Master, one of a handful of high end systems that color corrects footage and much more to give films their polished look. We will be using these systems to color grade Faith in the Big House.
