ABOUT THE FILMS

Saturday – 1pm (Running time 63min)

“Quest for Local Honey” – Our Quest is one of finding how humans are

working hand in wing with the bees to create locally focused circles

of economics, sustainable food production while keeping the health of

the hive alive! We are looking at honey bee lore, pollination

projects, inspired beekeepers of all kinds, local honey’s effect on

humans, the bee-human relationship & of course, Bee-Positive efforts

celebrating the Bee all over the United States.  More information

“Fixing the Future” trailer – In a one-hour PBS special that premieres

Thurs., Nov. 18, David Brancaccio visits communities across America

using innovative approaches to create jobs and build prosperity in our

new economy.  Fixing the Future teamed up with YES! Magazine to find

useful tools and innovations for communities working to build a new

economy.

Selections from Wild & Scenic Film Festival - Once the curtain closes in Nevada City, SYRCL shares their success with other organizations

nationwide by packaging the 3-day event into a one-night festival

which visits over 100 communities nationwide. The tour is building a

grassroots network of organizations connected by a common goal of

using film to inspire activism. The festival’s five National Partners:

Clif Bar, Patagonia, Osprey Packs, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and

Mother Jones have joined together to support this campaign. They help

to bring these inspiring and provocative films to communities across

the country. Enjoy the films!  Program includes “Brower Youth Awards:

Junior Walk”, “Season’s Winter”, “Timber”, “A Liter of Light”, “Corner Plot”,

“Seasons: Spring”, and “Chasing Water”.  More info at

The Story of Bottled Water (Running Time 5min)

The Story of Bottled Water tells the story of manufactured demand–how

you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water

every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the

film explores the bottled water industry’s attacks on tap water and

its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the

mountains of plastic waste it produces

The Story of Electronics (Running Time 8min)

The Story of Electronics explores the high-tech revolution’s

collateral damage–25 million tons of e-waste and counting, poisoned

workers and a public left holding the bill. Annie takes viewers from

the mines and factories where our gadgets begin to the horrific

backyard recycling shops in China where many end up.

Saturday – 4pm (Running Time 105min)

“One Day on Earth” - On November 11th, 11.11.11, across the planet,

documentary filmmakers, students, and other inspired citizens will

record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their

voice to the second annual global day of media creation called One Day

on Earth. Together, we will create a shared archive and a film.
