Fall Fourth Friday - New Films of Vision and Hope Series
Finding Meaning in an Uncertain World
A special film series is coming up for fall Fourth Friday. What does it mean to be human in today’s uncertain world - to survive, live among others, and find meaning and happiness?
Surviving Progress
Friday September 26, 2014 7-9PM NOTE time change just for this month
Human advancement is awe-inspiring and double-edged, but we’re running the 21st century’s software — our know-how — on the ancient hardware of our 50,000 year old primate brains. With rich imagery and an immersive soundtrack, this film launches us on a journey to contemplate our evolution from cave-dwellers to space explorers. It leaves us with a challenge: prove that making apes smarter was not an evolutionary dead-end.
And later in the series...
One Day on Earth
Friday October 24, 2014 7:30-9:30pm
It’s the first film made in every country of the world on the same day: 10/10/10. You’ll be fascinated by this window into the daily lives, joys, sorrows, and hopes of humanity, filmed by a diverse group of volunteer filmmakers around the world. Experience how the world is interconnected, enormous, perilous, and wonderful.
Happy
Friday November 21, 2014 7:30-9:30pm
Note date change just for this month
What makes you happy? Work? Money? Kids and family? Do you live in a world that values and promotes happiness and well-being? Are we in the midst of a happiness revolution? To answer these questions and more, “Happy” goes from the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia, from the beaches of Brazil to the villages of Okinawa.
Holiday Potluck
December - Date and time to be announced
Come to share fun, food, and reflections on the file series and holiday season.
