Reverend Billy Talen has been preaching salvation for the commodity-addicted flock for over a decade. He helps the wicked credit card charger to understand there is indeed life after shopping. This evening we will sample films made by and about the Church of Stop shopping, including the Last Televangelist and an assortment of medleys from the choir. This is not to be missed! Join in with us for a preach-athon and some delicious holiday cheer. More about Reverend Billy at http://www.revbilly.com/work/the-last-televangelist

Sorry for the late notice, folks, but we're going to postpone our showing of "Czech Dream" due to the snow delay and transportation issues. Our film series will resume next week with Reverend Billy and the Church of Life After Shopping! We'll try to work "Czech Dream" into the line-up for the New Year. Stay tuned for a list of films coming up in January!

a documentary about Shopping!

Rainbow Town is the portrait of an orphanage in Liberia that provides a home, family and hope to hundreds of children whose parents were killed by the war. Maker Lauren Selmon Roberts and her collaborators spent over six months filming this inspiring doc. A gorgeous story about how faith can cultivate community and creativity in the midst of wreckage. See more about the film here at http://rainbowtown.org/movie. Makers will be present.

"The Garden" is an academy award nominated documentary about the fight for a community in south central Los Angeles to keep its lush 14 acre urban farm. The garden fed and nourished 3 generations until a tangle of legal challenges and neighborhood conflicts brought in the bulldozers that destroyed this paradise. Scott Hamilton Kennedy's fascinating film follows the story of how the garden provided a way to self-reliance for one community, and about the differences that ensued between Mexican American and African American local residents over their visions for the neighborhood.
