Water Film Festival
Saturday, June 12
5pm to 10pm
in SLO (at the SLO Library)

FREE (with donations graciously accepted)


1. 5pm to 6:15pm: Films about Natural Wastewater systems to provoke more
dialogue about the Los Osos Sewer Project, for example. Learn about the 
work of
John Todd’s Living Machine. See what the UN says about natural wastewater
systems in the midst of a global water crisis. And a short film about how 
prayer
affects water crystals (the work of Masaru Emoto).

6:15 - 6:45pm: Dinner Break with Stone City Pizza

2. 7:00 - 8:30: FiLM: THiRST with Film makers  Alan Snitow and Deborah
Kaufman to answer questions afterwards.THiRST is about the privatization of 
water:
in Bolivia, India and Stockton, California.

“Thirst is a remarkable film. The looming freshwater crisis is the greatest
environmental and human rights crisis of our time. Not surprisingly, the move
is on by powerful corporations and governments to commodify and cartelize the
world’s water supplies for power and profit. “Thirst” is the story of 
this
assault and the fight to stop it.”  - — Maude Barlow


3. FiLM: DROWNED OUT Featuring Arundhati Roy. An Indian family chooses to
stay at home and drown rather than make way for the Narmada Dam. Local elder
activist Richard Krejsa will comment due to his being there. Winner of 
numerous
awards. “An inspiring record of a quite extraordinary campaign of mass
resistance, at once angry, compassionate, disturbing and yet empowering, it 
makes for
urgent and necessary viewing...” Critics Choice, Time Out (London)



All Films will be shown at the SLO Library.
A Q&A discussion will follow each film, time permitting.
