NATURAL WORLD MUSEUM PRESENTS
====================================================== ........... THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY I ................. Wednesday October 20, 2004 7:00PM – 9:00PM $10/ $5 presale & students Herbst International Exhibition Hall Building 385 Moraga @ Montgomery (south of the bowling center, off Arguello) San Francisco Presidio FOR MAP: http://www.fortmason.org/directions BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE: http://acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaID=74880 http://www.naturalworldmuseum.org info@naturalworldmuseum.org (415)378-4097 ====================================================== Against a compelling backdrop of Environmental art, Natural World Museum's Film series shows compelling documentaries and movies with an environmental message. NWM seeks to promote film as an organizing media for people to engage in a social movement demanding global sustainability. ------------------------------------------------------ THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY I Directed by the South African Jamie Uys, this slaphappy collection of goofy pratfalls and culture-clash gags became an enormous international smash. A Coke bottle dropped from an airplane disrupts the quiet life of a family of African Bushmen living in the deep isolation of the Kalahari desert. N!Xau, the head of the family, takes the evil thing and embarks on a journey to the end of the world to return it to the gods. At the same time a white teacher is fed up with city life and takes a job in Botswana. She meets a shy and bumbling scientist. Their adventures and misadventures are intertwined with N!Xau's journey. From the perspective of sustainability, this film provides comic relief and a lighthearted view on the disruptions that globalization, symbolized by the ubiquitous Coke bottle, can have on traditional societies. ====================================================== ANIMA MUNDI ~ SOUL OF THE WORLD EXHIBITION & PROGRAMS ------------------------------------------------------ Showing Oct 1-31, 2004 at the SF Presidio's Herbst International Exhibition Hall Tues - Fri 10am -7pm, Sat & Sun 10am - 5pm $4 general/ $2 students ------------------------------------------------------ Join the Natural World Museum in launching its debut exhibition of Environmental Art.
