Yellow Submarine & Concert
admin Synopsis: The Beatles are spirited away in the eponymous yellow submarine to save Pepperland from the dreaded Blue Meanies. Along the way, the singing saviors encounter a surreal feast for both the eyes and ears: phantasmagorical creatures, outrageous landscapes, and colors that throb and vibrate to each and every Beatle song on the soundtrack. It’s a drug-free, hallucinogenic journey for the armchair tripper, the peak of which is undoubtedly (and not surprisingly) the “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” sequence. An incredible film experience at all levels, “Yellow Submarine” manages to capture exquisitely and in visual form the beauty and madness of the incomparable Beatles.
Audio Trailer:
Director(s): George Dunning.
This remastered version of the classic film will be preceded by a live music performance by Collette Costa, Riley Woodford, Shona Strausser, and Clay Good.

American Meat (2010)
admin Synopsis:American Meat is a documentary about the changing landscape of our agriculture, particularly relating to meat. After decades of successfully feeding us, the conventional system has become increasingly weighed down by high energy costs. At the same time, an alternative agriculture is taking root, modeled after the regenerative ecological models promoted by farmers like Joel Salatin and his family’s Polyface Farm. As feeding ourselves becomes an increasing challenge, a shift to low-input farming coupled with community-based local distribution models is gaining traction as a viable ecological and economic solution.
