On WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28 at 6:30PM, join us for a special screening of THE EYES OF GHANA, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and directed by two-time Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot!

THE EYES OF GHANA follows the story of Chris Hesse – the personal cameraman to the first president of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Hesse was an eyewitness to Africa’s tumultuous liberation movement away from colonialist rule. Nkrumah was deposed in a coup and his rivals sought to destroy all his filmed records, but Hesse found a way to preserve over 1,300 reels. They’ve scarcely been seen since they were filmed. As Hesse nears the end of his life, we watch him share his legacy with the young Ghanaian filmmaker Anita Afonu, whose passion for cinema burns as brightly as his.

This THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 at 6PM, join us at Rialto Cinemas Cerrito for ALBANY GREENFEST: LIVING WITH A CHANGING PLANET, a collection of three compelling documentary shorts by Bay Area filmmakers about people finding new ways to understand, protect, and live with the natural world.

From filmmaker Sashwa Burrous comes THE FIRE POPPY. As our planet warms, fire is often feared as a threat. Yet fire is also a natural and necessary part of our ecosystem. Firefighter Sasha Berleman recognizes and uses the alternate power of fire as a valuable tool to heal and protect the natural landscape.

Nick Stone Schearer comes DON'T FEED THE COYOTES. It’s not a story about saving coyotes, but about appreciating life that finds a way. A look at several years in the lives of San Francisco’s urban coyotes, two very different researchers who observe them, and the lines we’ve drawn between people and the natural world.

From filmmakers Dominic Gill and Nadia Gill comes PLANETWALKER. In 1971 John Francis witnessed an oil tanker collision in the San Francisco Bay. The sight of oiled birds on the shoreline caused him to give up motorized transport and rely solely on his own two feet. Months later he took a vow of silence, convinced that listening was the way forward. Not talking but communicating nonetheless, he kept on walking clear across the country and back again, connecting more deeply with the world and its people.

Stay after the films for an interactive Q&A with the filmmakers and climate experts David M. Romps, Professor of Climate Physics at UC Berkeley, where he studies the fundamental physics of climate and educates students and the public about global warming; and UC Berkeley affiliate Michael A. Ranney, whose research explores the nature of explanation and understanding.
