Below is the quick run down of the film for next week.
REEL People; July 29, 2010, 7:00PM MOCA
•Green Program includes the short documentary “Gimme Green.” Both filmmakers, Isaac Brown and Eric Flagg will be in attendance to discuss green issues after the film.
•Short synopsis: Lawns are undeniably an American symbol. But what do they really symbolize? Pride and prosperity? Or waste and conformity? Gimme Green is a humorous look at the American obsession with the residential lawn and the effects it has on our environment, our wallets and our outlook on life. From the limitless subdivisions of Florida to sod farms in the arid southwest, Gimme Green peers behind the curtain of the $40-billion industry that fuels our nation’s largest irrigated crop—the lawn.
•Two additional green shorts will follow Gimme Green before the Q&A.
•Free to JFF and MOCA members. $10 general admission
