Rithy Panh
Rithy Panh( born April 18, 1964) is a Cambodian documentary film director and screenwriter.
The French- schooled director's films focus on the aftermath of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia.
Rithy Panh's works are from an authoritative viewpoint, because his family were expelled from Phnom Penh in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge.
One after another, his father, mother, sisters and nephews died of starvation or exhaustion, as they were held in a remote labor camp in rural Cambodia.
The Sea Wall
The Sea Wall is a 2008 film by Cambodian director Rithy Panh in a French/ Cambodian/ Belgian co-production.
The film opened on 7 January 2009 in France.
It was adapted from the 1950 novel" The Sea Wall" by Marguerite Duras.
The novel had previously been adapted as" This Angry Age" by René Clément in 1958.
This Angry Age
This Angry Age( also known as The Sea Wall, Barrage contre le Pacifique and La diga sul Pacifico) is a 1958 Italian- American drama film directed by René Clément, produced by Dino De Laurentiis, and starring Anthony Perkins and Silvana Mangano.
It is an adaptation of Marguerite Duras' 1950 novel," The Sea Wall".
The original novel was adapted again in 2008 by Rithy Panh as" The Sea Wall", starring Isabelle Huppert.
Giant Sea Wall Jakarta
Giant Sea Wall Jakarta is part of a massive coastal development project in Jakarta, Indonesia which commenced in 2014 and expected to be materialized by 2025.
The coastal development project includes the construction of a seawall along the coast, building a water reservoir, and the reclamation of land.
Construction of an 8 km part of the sea wall along the coast was officially launched on Oct. 9, 2014.
The Sea Wall (novel)
The Sea Wall is a 1950 novel by the French writer Marguerite Duras.
It was adapted for film in 1958 as" This Angry Age" and in 2008 as" The Sea Wall".
Inspired largely by her own adolescence in French Indochina, Duras wrote this novel in 1950, just after divorcing her first husband and remarrying.
Seawall
A seawall( or sea wall) is a form of coastal defense constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast.
The purpose of a sea wall is to protect areas of human habitation, conservation and leisure activities from the action of tides, waves, or tsunamis.
As a seawall is a static feature it will conflict with the dynamic nature of the coast and impede the exchange of sediment between land and sea.
The shoreline is part of the coastal interface which is exposed to a wide range of erosional processes arising from fluvial, aeolian and terrestrial sources, meaning that a combination of denudational processes will work against a seawall.
The coast is generally a high- energy, dynamic environment with spatial variations over a wide range of timescales.
The coast is exposed to erosion by rivers and winds as well as the sea, so that a combination of denudational processes will work against a sea wall.
Because of these persistent natural forces, sea walls need to be maintained( and eventually replaced) to maintain their effectiveness.
The many types of sea wall in use today reflect both the varying physical forces they are designed to withstand, and location specific aspects, such as local climate, coastal position, wave regime, and value of landform.
Sea walls are hard engineering shore- based structures which protect the coast from erosion.
But various environmental problems and issues may arise from the construction of a sea wall, including disrupting sediment movement and transport patterns.
Combined with a high construction cost, this has led to an increasing use of other soft engineering coastal management options such as beach replenishment.
Sea walls may be constructed from various materials, most commonly reinforced concrete, boulders, steel, or gabions.
Other possible construction materials are: vinyl, wood, aluminium, fibreglass composite, and large biodegrable sandbags made of jute and coir.
In the UK," sea wall" also refers to an earthen bank used to create a polder, or a dike construction.
The Overnighters
The Overnighters is a 2014 American documentary film written, directed and produced by Jesse Moss.
The film premiered in competition category of" U.S. Documentary Competition program" at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2014.
It won the" Special Jury Award" at the festival.
After its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, Drafthouse Films acquired distribution rights of the film.
The film was released on October 24, 2014 in United States, with a portion of all box office receipts being donated to North Dakota's local affordable housing charities.
The film also premiered at 2014 Miami International Film Festival on March 13, 2014 and won a prize at the festival.

Cyclone Xynthia
Cyclone Xynthia was an extraordinarily violent European windstorm which crossed Western Europe between 27 February and 1 March 2010.
It reached a minimum pressure of on 27 February.
In France—where it was described by the civil defence as the most violent since Lothar and Martin in December 1999 —at least 51 people were killed, with 12 more said to be missing.
A further six people were killed in Germany, three in Spain, one in Portugal, one in Belgium and another one in England.
Most of the deaths in France occurred when a powerful storm surge topped by battering waves up to high, hitting at high tide, smashed through the sea wall off the coastal town of L'Aiguillon- sur- Mer.
A mobile home park built close to the sea wall was particularly hard- hit.
The sea wall was about two hundred years old, built in the time of Napoleon; critics said that situating a mobile home park so close to the sea wall showed poor coastal development practices.
The storm cut power to over a million homes in France and a million customers in Portugal lost power.
Jesse Moss (filmmaker)
Jesse Moss is an American documentary filmmaker and cinematographer known for his cinéma vérité style.
His 2014 film," The Overnighters", was shortlisted for best documentary feature at the Oscars.
Moss has directed four independent, feature- length films and three television documentaries and has produced 15 documentaries.
Moss teaches filmmaking at San Francisco State University and lives in the Bay Area with his wife and frequent collaborator Amanda McBaine and their two children.
