Join us the 3rd Tuesday of the month for a film specially chosen to highlight Transition-related issues, and some of the ways individuals, families, and communities are building resilience and self reliance.

We have a sold out showing of Occupy Love screening this week! Very exciting. Too keep our momentum going we need YOUR help!

What should our next movie be? Add your suggestions and respond to those already posted.

If you are interested in helping to with the TW movie project indicate your willingness with a comment below. We need help screening potential movies, working with venues, identifying co-sponsors, posting flyers, hosting discussions, etc- let us know if you would like to help!

A web site with lots of possible films is www.bullfrogfilms.com they also have a special 'activist' set of films at www.bullfrogcommunities.com. Anyone want to help me wade thru the long list of films here and select some for possible showings?

Thanx David!

Looks like Transition 2.0 is a clear choice for a movie showing. The Farmer and The Horse seems a good one too. Any 'votes' for a third selection?

We also showed "Mad City Chickens" and "Collapse" (Michael Ruppert).

I think the first movie TW sponsored was "The Great Squeeze," organized by David Waugh for a showing at Fairhaven College, in 2009 I think.

Great Movie. We showed it a few months ago and had a wonderful turnout. I will go back and look at the movies we have shown in the past and post them here so we have a record.

Thanks for starting this film series! It's a great idea. I look forward to the next one. My suggestion is for the film "The Economics of Happiness." If you haven't seen it already, it's really cool and inspiring. (WWU's library has a copy if you want to preview it.)

Transition 2.0 is on the way (I should have the DVD in just a few days). Anyone want to help plan a showing? When is a good time to show it? Where show we do it?

“The Farmer and The Horse Film” would be interesting.  There is an annual draft-horse event each year in rural park outside of Lynden, and I have eastcoast friends who have farmed for years with draft horses.  http://www.thefarmerandthehorse.com/watch-the-trailer.html

My feedback on Crisis of Civilization: great to hear of Emily research on the main speaker in the movie. The 2nd half had globel political info I was not aware of, and Id like to watch at least the last 30 minutes again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgOTQ7D_lk

It was very interesting to listen to folks share responses to movie who have not been involved in permaculture-transition-living democracy work.
