Over the next five weeks, we'll be watching all five of the documentaries nominated for Best Feature Documentary at the Academy Awards. We'll start with Sicko by Michael Moore - this Friday, 8PM at our place.
The other nominated documentaries are: Why Demoncracy? Taxi to the Dark Side No End in Sight Operation Homecoming War/Dance
This Friday we'll be watching Bright Leaves - a film by Ross McElwee - supposedly one of America's top doc makers. I've been reading a bit of Wendell Berry in the last while and thought this film might be a glimpse into the life of the south and the culture of tobacco. Hope to see you out!
This Friday we'll be watching The Take - a documentary by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis about the economic collapse in Argentina and the ensuing rise in worker cooperatives and alternative economic systems. 8PM at our place - hope to see you out!
