Edelweiss
Media™
is a noncommercial television system of broadcasting that
is financed by means other than advertising revenues. Our
noncommercial television networks supply programs
directly to the audience, whereas commercial television
supplies audiences to advertisers. Our success due to
innovative distribution methods and diverging programming
philosophies, is the essential difference between us and
regular networks.
Historically,
commercialism has been criticized for inhibiting the free
expression of television's vast potential. Much of
television's best programming, however, both in the
United States and abroad, has been that which recognizes
and builds on the reality of broadcasting's mass appeal,
rather than that which fights against it.
Broadcast
television, in all its forms, is the mass medium of our
time, with a reach greater than that of any other means
of communication and Edelweiss
Media™
recognizes the potential to reach the public at grass
roots level especially by providing an essential
cultural/political context that appeals to local
sensibilities simply unavailable on public air waves
before.
Edelweiss
Media™
production networks is still in its infancy but provides
entertaining and increasingly well-produced programs for
Europe's upscale, educated, professional,
health-conscious and politically active membership base
-- an audience tired of liberal viewpoints and impatient
with the "vast wasteland" of commercialism. Our
production company, in the span of a couple of years, has
managed to attract thousands of viewers by pioneering new
forms, bold topics, and unorthodox concepts.
Our
most popular broadcasting's schedule is in cultural
programming--political documentaries, concerts, operas,
plays, debates and regional information programs.
Many of our best programs -- including, notably, OUR LAND
(England), REALITE URBAINE (Urban Reality, France) --
have been products of regional television workshops, with
participation and support from local independent,
political organizations.

Media™
strongest area is in public affairs, a fact underscored
by the launch of our official 2004 campaign throughout
Scandinavia. We have been able to provide a voice to a
growing dissatisfied electorate, giving them a forum to
express their anti-establishmentarian views that other
networks would not dare cover for fears of government
censorship or reprimand. Our advantage is not being
dependent on any grants or subsidies, free of any ties
with governments, banks or institutions. We operate on
the move, remain mobile and distribute our finished
product from abroad (USA). We keep our operations small
and always maintain good, close and personal customer
contacts.

 TRIBUTE
TO GREAT FILMAKERS
Riefenstahl,
Leni
{ree'-fen-shtahl}
Film
director, Leni Riefenstahl, b. Berlin, Aug.
22, 1902, achieved an international
reputation on the basis of two extraordinary
documentaries. Her first film, the mystical
Blue Light (1932), enflamed imagination, and
following her short documentary of the Nazi
party's 1933 Nuremberg rally, Victory of
Faith (1934), she was commissioned to give
feature-length treatment to the same event in
1934. The result, Triumph of the Will (1935),
was an impressive spectacle of Germany's
adherence to National Socialism and a
masterpiece of romanticized propaganda.
Equally famous, was her coverage of the 1936
Olympic Games in Berlin, the four-hour epic
Olympia (1938). Blacklisting by the Allies
(1945-52) and postwar ostracism ended
Riefenstahl's career as a
filmmaker.
