If you create your own electricity, heating and water systems, you create
your own politics. Maybe thats what theyre afraid of. Michael Reynolds
Garbage Warrior tells the story of Michael Reynolds, a renegade
environmental architect striving to build sustainable off-the-grid housing
communities. Using beer cans, abandoned auto tires and disposable water
bottles, among other materials, Reynolds creates environmental earthships,
but not without conflict with the mainstream architectural bureaucracy. But
after the catastrophic tsunami and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the need for
self-sufficient housing is all the more pressing. Reynolds and director
Oliver Hodge will join us for a Q&A.
The film is screening with The Story of Stuff, an exploration of the global
materials economy and its impact on government, environment and health.

Robert Redford presents THE GREEN.
The Film Society's Green Screens program addresses through film the vital
environmental concerns of global warming, the safety of our food supply,
sustainable living, and more. Each screening includes a discussion and
reception with artists and expert commentators, where we invite non-profit
organizations and others to provide materials and raise awareness of the
many positive actions we can all take.
In addition to this series, the Film Society screens PSAs showcasing climate
change, sustainability and other matters concerning the health of our planet
and its inhabitants. We are one of the first movie theaters in the country
to regularly screen such PSAs and we encourage other theaters to join us.
