The Last Days of Shishmaref
Thursday, June 11th

11 a.m.Lucas Theatre for the Arts
Shishmaref is a community of about 600 Inpiat Eskimo’s located on an island just off the west coast of Alaska. In the documentary director Jan Louter depicts the impending end of the traditional lifestyle on the island of Shishmaref through the lives of three Inupiat families. Despite the alarming situation, this film has not become a political manifesto. The Last Days of Shishmaref is a moving film about identity, transience, mortality and the clash between years and cultures.

CRUDE- an elegant and gripping saga of oil. Where does it come from? When will it run out? Where is it driving us? This extraordinary documentary sweeps through the ages: from the birth of oil deep in the dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life. Now, as we crest the peak of production, Crude reveals a disturbing irony: the
