OUR NEXT FILMS: 

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD 


Monday, February 2, 1 PM

Peacock Hall


This feature film was nominated for four Academy Awards. It is a fable set in a remote Mississippi Delta community that faces adversity when temperatures rise, ice caps melt causing rising waters that threaten their homes, and fierce prehistoric beasts called aurochs run loose. At the center of this poetic storm stands Hushpuppy, a tiny heroine who uses the power of fantasy and folklore to carry her people, and us as viewers, forward. She represents the spirit of an unsung America with a commanding reminder from a small but strong voice - that all of us are "a little piece of a big, big universe”.


133 minutes with captions. Trailer

SINGING BACK THE BUFFALO

Wednesday, February 11, 7pm

Peacock Hall 


American buffalo once roamed wild in the US, numbering in the tens of millions. Their decline to mere thousands parallels the decline of Indigenous First Nations as shown in Director Tasha Hubbard’s award-winning documentary. Filmed near Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, Hubbard’s film showcases the ‘rematriation’ of Buffalo herds, capturing the beauty and majesty of these ancient animals, the culture of "Buffalo consciousness”, and the rebuilding of sovereignty for the people of the First Nations. 1 hour 39 minutes, with captions.


This documentary will be preceded by a short film that highlights the unexpected benefits to the ecology of the land and other wildlife when buffalo were reintroduced to arid rangeland, rewriting conservation methods of the future.
