Friday, July 3, 7:00-9:30 PM Film: “WE ALL FALL DOWN: THE AMERICAN MORTGAGE CRISIS” (65 min, Gary Gasgarth and Kevin Stocklin, 2009) This timely and informative documentary chronicles the history of America's mortgage finance system, from its origins in the 1930s, when the federal government first made available long-term, fixed-rate loans to new American homeowners, to its current state of crisis, after an excess of risky mortgage financing led to the system's collapse, which in turn triggered a wider economic recession. WE ALL FALL DOWN features dozens of clearly understandable interviews and commentary from a wide variety of industry experts and Wall Street insiders, including mortgage brokers, appraisers, bankers, lawyers, analysts, sellers and buyers, and economics scholars. The film concludes with an analysis of the economic and political impact of the collapse of the mortgage finance system on American society, now and likely for decades to come.

Friday, July 17, 7:00-9:30 PM Film: "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: RESISTANCE & REPRESSION IN AN AGE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY" (Kembrew McLeod & Jeremy Smith, 60 min, 2007) WITH STEVEN REISLER, CHAIR OF THE SEATTLE CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. "This smartly-made and seriously funny documentary provides an aerial view of the battleground that is today's copyright landscape. Illustrating the comments of many well-known critics of runaway copyright & trademark law with apt audiovisual examples, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION succeeds as an engaging and concrete presentation." - Peter Jaszi, Professor of Law, Washington College of Law, (Event is FREE and open to the public! ...but Donations are kindly accepted). |

Friday, July 24, 7:00-9:30 PM Film: “BACK TO THE GARDEN, FLOWER POWER COMES FULL CIRCLE” (70 min, Kevin Tomlinson, 2009) WITH THE DIRECTOR, KEVIN TOLINSON ...Where have all the flower children gone? In 1988, Kevin Tomlinson asked himself that question. At a large “Healing Gathering” in rural Washington State, he interviewed a group of back-to-the-land Hippies who were thriving in the eighties—independent of the culture that had forgotten them. Almost 20 years later, in 2006, Tomlinson sought out his subjects again to find out what had become of their off-grid, backcountry families, searching for environmental utopia while living out their sixties’ ideals. Most of all, he wanted to find out whether their country dreams of a better life had held together—or did they return to the mainstream as many had in the nineties? The adventure that followed speaks to all of us who were affected by the counterculture. These aging back-to-the-land hippies and their tribal families, firmly insulated from global economic shocks and living a lifestyle emphasizing sustainability, simplicity and community, heralded a resurrection of alternative values which presage today’s green movement, and now seems wiser than ever.

Friday, July 31, 7:00-9:30 PM Film: "WHY SEX?" ...And Our Last Film for the Season In evolutionary terms, sex is more important than life itself. Sex fuels evolutionary change by adding variation to the gene pool. The powerful urge to pass our genes on to the next generation has likely changed the face of human culture in ways we're only beginning to understand. Does art, literature, music, and in fact all of human culture ultimately result from our sexual drives? (Event is FREE and open to the public! ...but Donations are kindly accepted). |
