Our next Transition Town Cheltenham film night is Monday 3rd February at 7.30pm, when we will be showing "Powaqqatsi - Life in Transformation" at St. Mark's
Methodist Church, Gloucester Road, GL51 8PX (*not* St Mark C of E on
Church Road). This is the last of our current series of film showings.
Powaqqatsi is the sequal to Koyaanisqatsi which we showed a few weeks ago, and caused much discussion. You can see a trailer for Powaqqatsi here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVTmWRcUbY
"While Koyaanisqatsi focused on modern life in industrial countries, Powaqqatsi, which similarly has no dialogue, focuses more on the conflict in third world countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization. As with Koyaanisqatsi, the film is strongly related to its soundtrack, written by Philip Glass. Here, human voices (especially children's and mainly from South America and Africa) appear more than in Koyaanisqatsi, in harmony with the film's message and images."
Tea, coffee and biscuits or cake will be served and there will be chance for a discussion afterwards. There is no charge, but donations will be welcome to cover costs.
