The advertised program will be adhered to, to allow movie-goers to mosey on in for the film of their choice and sidle out when the time is right. Discussion and beverage breaks are included throughout the session to mingle and muse with like minded folk. Entry is by donation, the screen and sound setup have proved to be great for the Hall, if it is really chilly bring a lap rug.
In Transition-The Movie made its debut last year, showcasing the Transition Town movement. If you’re having trouble getting your head around what it is and why hundreds of communities around the world are going to such lengths to build local resilience, this 50 minute foray will have you feeling enlightened and excited about what a Transition initiative can do for your community.
End of Suburbia-Oil Depletion and the collapse of the American Dream
“With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary.
The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia ?”

The Power of Community-How Cuba Survived Peak Oil “When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope.”
