friends,
you
are invited to a film showing Monday night at 40 Congress St. we will
be watching The History of Oil by comedian Robert Newman. (
This brilliant short film is shot around Robert Newman's stand-up
act
and supported by archive sequences and stills with satirical
impersonations of historical figures from Mayan priests to Archduke
Ferdinand. Quirky details such as a bicycle powered street lamp on the
stage brings home the perplexing question of just how we are going to
survive when the world's oil supplies are finally exhausted. Newman
comes to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years -
but rather than adhering to the school-boy history we were fed, the
places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion.
film starts
at 9pm. if you drive, please park a few houses
down the
hill from the house where there is plenty of parking (the neighbors
prefer this). http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=40+Congress+St&city=asheville&state=nc&zipcode=
we show films every Monday evening. they are mostly
educational/political documentaries. please let us know
if you want off this list!!!
