DESCRIPTION:Double Feature \n\nTHE STORY OF STUFF \n\nFrom its extraction through sale, 
 use, and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home 
 and abroad; yet most of this is hidden from view. This short film is a 
 fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and 
 consumption patterns, our over-productivity and gargantuan wastefulness. 
 This story of how products and waste travel through our lives exposes the 
 connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and 
 calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It will 
 teach you something, it will make you laugh, and it just may change the way 
 you look at all the stuff in your life forever. \n\nTHE GREENING OF CUBA 
 \n\nThis informative film, made by Food First, profiles Cuban farmers and 
 scientists working to reinvent a sustainable agriculture, based on 
 ecological principles and local knowledge rather than imported agricultural 
 inputs. In their quest for self sufficiency, Cubans combine time-tested 
 traditional methods with cutting edge bio-technology. The film illustrates 
 Cuba's transition into food sovereignty — away from industrial 
 agriculture when the Soviet bloc collapsed. This is a hopeful story: a 
 glimpse into the best case scenario of what we may face in America once we 
 move beyond the fossil fuel economy. It also makes it clear that a 
 collective/coordinated/state-run approach is needed to make the transition 
 a positive one. The systemic juxtaposition is spelled out in an implicit 
 but not pedantic way. \n\nWheelchair accessible at 411 28th Street entrance 
 \n\nBefore and after the films, everyone's invited to indulge in our 
 Humanist Vegetarian Organic Refreshments. \n\n$5 donations are appreciated
