Earth Cinema
Waiheke Earth Cinema Circle (an offshoot of Spiritual Cinema Circle) is a group of people who get together every month for an offering of films from all over the world that explore the natural world — and fundraising for Island causes at the same time.
Earth Cinema evenings are held on the second Wednesday of every even month at Waiheke Community Cinema and are sponsored by Waiheke Wellness and by the Cinema. Entry is by donation ($10 suggested) or by koha, and proceeds go to a different community group every month. Screenings are restricted to Cinema Circle members, and you can join at the door (annual sub of $2).
December's films are:
Suncookers: This emotion-stirring, hopeful documentary demonstrates how a simple technology and a few committed, organized people can bring profound social transformation.
Conversing with Aotearoa/New Zealand: This award-winning, animated documentary investigates the value of our human interaction and interdependence with the natural world.
Who's Got the Power?: Delving deeply into the issues we are facing today with the present system of coal, oil and natural gas powering the world’s energy needs, this powerful documentary examines the alternatives.
Teachings of the Tree People: In this gentle documentary, nationally acclaimed artist and Skokomish tribal leader, Gerald Bruce Miller, interpreted the sacred teachings of the natural world to anyone who came to learn.
