Patagonia celebrates the ‘Art of Activism’ in story of local resilience

The outdoor brand’s nine-minute film tells the story of an Italian fisherman and his fight against deep-sea trawlers.

Patagonia has released ‘The Art of Activism,’ a short film exploring the story of a fisherman and his local community in Tuscany, Italy. The story explores the harm done by bottom trawling to marine areas, showing how individual action can help protect the seas.

It follows from the outdoor brand’s announcement earlier this year that, going forward, it will hand over all profits (about $100m a year) to fight the climate emergency. This move was hailed as a landmark moment, setting a benchmark for corporate sustainability.

In the nine-minute film, made in collaboration with Pop-Up Magazine, Italian fisherman Paolo Fanciulli tries everything to stop deep-sea trawlers from harming his beloved Mediterranean ecosystem. He protests, and even impersonates a police officer, but nothing works.

“Trawling is not a sustainable way of fishing. These chains drag across the seabed… It’s like a hunter burning down the entire forest to kill one boar,” Paolo says. “Day by day, the underwater meadows of Posidonia and corals are being destroyed – whole hectares of sea.”

As a solution, Paolo approached artists to create sculptures that would not only stop trawling, but eventually create an underwater museum in the Mediterranean Sea.

Paolo adds: “Every day I host people on my boat. I tell them this story. I involve these people in this story. The life of the seas starts from the seabed.”

Actor Dan Levy learns how to craft the perfect margarita in new Cointreau campaign

Want to know the secret behind creating mouthwatering margaritas? Cointreau has tapped Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, as well as chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly, to explain how. Since Dallas socialite Margarita Sames first created the margarita in 1948, it has become the most popular cocktail in the US, according to Cointreau. The 173-year-old brand has enlisted award-winning actor, writer and director Dan Levy to front its campaign that shows consumers how to make the drink using its orange-flavored liqueur, with the help of celebrity chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly. “Cointreau is the key ingredient in my favorite cocktails – an ice-cold margarita and a cosmo on the rocks in a tumbler – so when Cointreau approached me, it was kind of fated,” Levy said in a statement. “Having spent the spring shooting The Big Brunch alongside some of my culinary heroes, I needed to pull up my socks when it came to hospitality – so I chose to start this summer perfecting some co...

Alison Hammond is a medieval countess in Sainsbury’s Christmas ad narrated by Stephen Fry

The British TV personalities star in this tongue-in-cheek ad from the supermarket that puts traditional Christmas pudding front and center. Alison Hammond has adopted the role of a picky countess for this year’s Sainsbury’s Christmas ad. Narrated by Stephen Fry, ‘Once Upon a Pud’ is set in a land far far away where a feast is being planned in the castle. One by one, chefs present their dishes to the countess for approval, but when it comes to the Christmas pudding she has a few choice words. Declaring that she doesn’t like the dessert, the disappointed chef retreats to his kitchen to come up with something better. Advertisement As an orchestral version of the hit noughties tune Teenage Dirtbag plays in the background, the nervous cook presents Hammond with a caramelized biscuit Christmas pudding that she loves. “I absolutely loved playing the countess in this year’s Sainsbury’s Christmas advert. It got me feeling all festive and was such a laugh,” said Hammond. “The Taste the...
