SMOKESCREEN: Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Climate

FREE EVENT! Earth Day April 22

Earth Day Event — Dr. Chad Hanson Talk and Visual Presentation: Protecting Communities from Wildfires — It's Not About Logging Remote Forests

For decades, the U.S. Forest Service has been conducting large logging projects on public lands, telling the public that these mechanical thinning and post-fire logging timber sales will curb and stop wildfires so they will not reach towns. But several major wildfire tragedies and a lot of new science over the past decade have shown the Forest Service's approach to be not just misguided and ineffective, but counter-productive and dangerous. Dr. Chad Hanson, wildfire scientist with the John Muir Project and author of the book "Smokescreen" will discuss why the focus of the Forest Service and Congress on logging mature and old trees, and post-fire clearcutting, in forest wildlands is putting communities at greater risk. Dr. Hanson will describe a different path forward, one that will be far better for forest ecosystems, and will help save homes and lives from wildfires.

Free admission, donations accepted. Q&A to follow talk. Presented by John Muir Project, Plumas Forest Project and Feather River Action!

When Orsolya oversees the eviction of a local elderly man in Cluj, Transylvania, the unintended consequences come to shatter her and her understanding of her place in society. Spiraling into an existential crisis, she traverses the city, meeting with various people in her life -- her husband, an old friend, her former student, a priest -- to consider and reconcile her place in an increasingly maddening modern world in award-winning filmmaker Radu Jude's latest furious and hysterical moral parable. Anchored by a standout performance from Eszter Tompa, KONTINENTAL '25 infuses caustic satire with warm humor and subtle drama.

FINAL SHOW! April 26

Photographed in sterling, sensuous black-and-white, François Ozon’s new take on Albert Camus’s classic novel of existentialist ennui is a landmark of adaptation, simultaneously faithful to the text and dedicated to discovering fresh perspectives in the margins. Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) works as a clerk at an office in Algiers during the French colonial occupation. Meursault finds his routine upended by the sudden death of his mother. As Meursault gets swept up in a cycle of escalating reprisals among his neighbors, tensions come to a head with a fateful encounter on the beach.

May 1 - 3

Undeterred by armed soldiers, smooth-talking politicians, and riot police, journalist Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media. STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! follows Goodman as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, the film is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?
