VENICE http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Jim-Kelly-Jersey/ , Italy, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- A drama by Paul Schrader running in competition at Venice Film Festival won the 2017 Green Drop Award here on Friday.


"First Reformed" was recognized the prize during an awarding ceremony held at the Excelsior Hotel at Venice Lido, as "the most environmentalist movie" of the Fest's 74th edition.


"The film reminds us that first-person commitment is a choice always possible, however hard and painful that might be http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Jerry-Hughes-Jersey/ ," the jury said.


"Among all the (selected) films, this one seemed the most significant to us, because it answers to the pressing question: what can we do?" jurors led by Italian renowned actress Giuliana De Sio added.


The American director's feature premiered here on Aug. 31, starring Ethan Hawke in the main role of a spiritual minister of an old church. Distraught by the loss of his son -- whom he had encouraged to enrol in the army -- the pastor embarks on the effort of helping a young woman http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Eric-Wood-Jersey/ , a parishioner, and her radical environmentalist husband.


As such, the story displays two parallel crises: the intimate one related to the minister's personal loss; and the second linked to his urge to do something for the environment.


Since 2012, the Green Drop Award is given by association Green Cross Italy to the film deemed to best represent the values of ecology and sustainable development at Venice Film Festival.


The group is the Italian branch of Green Cross International http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Eddie-Yarbrough-Jersey/ , which was founded by former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev in 1993, and is now present in some 32 countries, and recognized by the United Nations.


Its double goal is to favor movies addressing environmental issues -- to raise public awareness through such a popular medium -- and to foster environmentally-friendly practices within the cinema industry itself.


As organizers underlined at the ceremony, Schrader's was only one of the many movies running in Venice this year that brought on the screen the issues of climate change and environmental deterioration http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Ej-Gaines-Jersey/ , and how these problems affect humans.


For example, in Darren Aranofsky's horror "Mother!", the increasingly destructive path of the protagonists would symbolize the devastation caused on environment by humans and by their insatiable needs.


Alexander Payne's "Downsizing" imagined a world in which scientists become able to shrink humanity for the major reason of reducing its impact on the earth and the natural resources.


Every year, the winners of the Green Drop Award would receive a trophy http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Doug-Flutie-Jersey/ , always a Murano glass artefact shaped into a hollow drop of water.


For this edition, it was filled with samples of soil dating from roughly 66 million years ago, when the mass extinction of dinosaurs is believed to have occurred.


Schrader had already left Venice, and was not able to receive it personally. Yet http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Dion-Dawkins-Jersey/ , he welcomed the prize with a message. "Many films today address the crises we are going through, and especially the environmental one," the director said. "In my own movie, I tried to explore the intimate feelings of human beings http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Deonte-Thompson-Jersey/ , when they come to face such problems... Because we all need to find an answer to this condition of anxiety."

The U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously approved new sanctions on North Korea in a watered-down resolution that eliminated a ban on all oil imports and an international asset freeze on the government and leader Kim Jong Un that the Trump administration wanted.


The resolution does ban North Korea from importing all natural gas liquids and condensates. But it caps Pyongyang's imports of crude oil at the level of the last 12 months, and it limits the import of refined petroleum products to 2 million barrels a year.


It also bans all textile exports and prohibits countries from authorizing new work permits for North Korean workers — two key sources of hard currency for the northeast Asian nation.


U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told the council after the vote that "these are by far the strongest measures ever imposed on North Korea ... but we all know these steps only work if all nations implement them completely and aggressively."


"Today we are saying the world will never accept a nuclear armed North Korea," she said. "We are done trying to prod the regime to do the right thing" and now are instead taking steps to prevent it "from doing the wrong thing."


Haley reiterated that the United States does not want war and said "North Korea has not yet passed the point of no return." She said if Pyongyang gives up its nuclear program and proves it can live in peace, the world will live in peace with it.


The resolution represents a swift response to North Korea's sixth and strongest nuclear test explosion Sept. 3 http://www.billsrookiestore.com/Bills-Cordy-Glenn-Jersey/ , which it said was a hydrogen bomb, and to its escalating launches of increasingly sophisticated ballistic missiles that it says can reach the United States.


The text was agreed to after final negotiations between the U.S. and China. Haley praised the "strong relationship" between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping for enabling the resolution's adoption.


But its provisions are a significant climb-down from the toughest-ever sanctions that the Trump administration proposed in the initial draft resolution it circulated last Tuesday, especially on oil, where a complete ban could have crippled North Korea's economy.
