  • Debunking Gasland, Part II
    Debunking Gasland, Part II Steve Team Lead Three years after the release of Gasland – a film panned by independent observers as “fundamentally dishonest” and a “polemic” – the main challenge for director Josh Fox in releasing Gasland Part II was manifest: Regain the public’s trust by discarding hyperbole and laying out the challenges and opportunities of shale development as they actually exist in the actual world. In short, do everything a documentary filmmaker should do, but which he chose not to do in Gasland. Unfortunately for those who attended the premiere of Gasland Part II this past weekend (we were there), Josh eschewed that path entirely, doubling down on the same old, tired talking points, and playing to his narrow base at the exclusion of all others. The Parker County case? It’s in there. Dimock? Probably receives more focus than anything else. Pavillion and EPA? You bet. And yes, that damned banjo of his makes an appearance or two as well. This isn’t Gasland Part II, folks. It’s Gasland Too. Sure, the sequel has some new cast members and a few new claims. Somehow, Fox discovers that shale is actually worse than he previously thought: Earthquakes. Methane leaks. Well failures. Hurricanes. Heck, viewers were probably waiting for swarms of locusts to appear – fracking locusts, to be sure. And there was plenty of spectacle, too. Yoko Ono was in the audience. So was former Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), the congressman who lent his name to the infamous “FRAC Act” that Josh so desperately wants to become law.

Thinking he has no other option, Fuller decides to take a security guard hostage in order to get his demands met.

  • Gasland Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmforum.com Gasland Discussion Guide Director: Josh Fox Year: 2010 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Gasland Part II (2013) The Sky Is Pink (2012) FILM SUMMARY GASLAND is an unflinching investigation into the relatively new, yet highly controversial drilling practice known as “fracking” which is used to extract natural gas from the ground. This road movie follows filmmaker Josh Fox who was offered $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property on the border of New York and Pennsylvania but turned it down. Instead, he set off on a cross-country journey to see for himself the startling environmental and health risks faced by those who have agreed to sell the drilling rights on their land to the gas industry. In one highly memorable scene, a man who recently allowed fracking on his land is standing in his kitchen. As he lights a match under the running faucet, the water bursts into flames. This crazy occurrence is presumably the result of fracking. Fox also shines a light on the power of big business over government policy in the U.S. by looking at the agenda of former Vice-President Dick Cheney. In 2005, Cheney’s Energy Task Force pushed through a provision to the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act that exempted corporations like Halliburton (where Cheney was once CEO) from revealing the chemicals used in fracking. This led to the largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history. GASLAND has been embraced by those who consider fracking to be a serious health and environmental threat, and it’s sparked a debate in the U.S.

In addition to the special events in this newsletter, Amherst Cinema shows current-release film on four screens every day. Visit amherstcinema.org and join our weekly e-newsletter for the latest offerings. films of Kelly Reichardt In anticipation of the March 2020 opening of her new movie, FIRST COW, Amherst Cinema is pleased to present four films from the back catalog of director Kelly Reichardt. Reichardt's dramas are small-scale symphonies; alchemical transmogrifications of the ordinary into gripping cinematic experiences. Often collaborating with the same creatives across multiple pictures, such as actor Michelle Williams and writer Jonathan Raymond, Reichardt's films turn the WENDY AND LUCY lens on those in some way at the margins of American communities. Be it a woman living out of her car in WENDY AND LUCY, a group of lost 1840s pioneers in MEEK'S CUTOFF, a reclusive ranch hand in CERTAIN WOMEN, or a hand-to-mouth ex-hippie in OLD JOY, Reichardt's characters, regardless of life circumstances, are deeply and richly human. There may be no other living filmmaker who so fully realizes Roger Ebert's assertion that "movies are the most powerful empathy machine in all the arts." All of which is to say nothing of her films' painterly cinematography, naturalistic and immersive sound design, and Reichardt's knack of scouting the perfect space for every scene, often in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Reichardt and her work have been honored at the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the BFI MEEK'S CUTOFF London Film Festival, the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and more.

  • Night Moves Instrueret Og Skrevet Af Kelly Reichardt
    ANGEL FILMS PRÆSENTERER Night Moves Instrueret og skrevet af Kelly Reichardt 112 minutter Kontakt:(Peter(Sølvsten(Thomsen,([email protected]( 1 Night Moves Dansk synopsis: En spændingsfyldt fortælling om de tre passionerede miljøaktivister, Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning) og Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), der sammen planlægger en bombeaktion mod en dæmning. Aktionen lykkes, men ikke uden uforudsete konsekvenser – konsekvenser som skal vise sig at blive skæbnesvanger for de tre aktivister. Josh, Dena og Harmon vender tilbage til deres hverdag i forsøget på at holde lav profil, men begynder hurtigt at mærke det psykiske pres af deres store hemmelighed. Efterhånden som paranoia og mistillid kryber ind i de sammensvornes hoveder, begynder idealismens skyggesider at vise sig. Gennem Kelly Reichardts særegne stil og atmosfære, stiller NIGHT MOVES skarpt på spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt terrorhandlinger kan retfærdiggøres, så længe bevæggrunden herfor er sympatisk, eller om al terror leder til umoralsk fanatisme?

  • 12Th & Delaware
    12th & Delaware DIRECTORS: Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing U.S.A., 2009, 90 min., color On an unassuming corner in Fort Pierce, Florida, it’s easy to miss the insidious war that’s raging. But on each side of 12th and Delaware, soldiers stand locked in a passionate battle. On one side of the street sits an abortion clinic. On the other, a pro-life outfit often mistaken for the clinic it seeks to shut down. Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors’ lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these FromFrom human rights to popular fears palpable.
