April's films are:
 
  
* <b>People’s Grocery</b> in West Oakland, California is a magical oasis that firmly practices what it believes – that all people, regardless of background, should have access to the best food possible. In a community with 53 liquor stores, People’s Grocery is growing their own organic food, teaching the community about healthy eating and giving away food through their “Produce in a Box” distribution program. It’s a living local economy regenerating from the dust of a neglected neighborhood. [9m]
 
  
* <b>Trashed</b> travels with filmmaker Derek Boonstra as he uncovers where trash goes; from the garbage man, to the transfer station, the landfill and eventually out to sea. There is an eastern garbage patch in the ocean that operates like a huge toilet bowl that never flushes. Now young people are learning that trash starts here and how to stop this chain of pollution before we all get carried away with it! [20m]

== Films for June (on the 9th) are:==
  
* <b>Saba & The Rhino's Secret</b>: Wildlife conservationist Saba Douglas-Hamilton grew up in Africa and is familiar with the reclusive behavior of the ill-tempered Black Rhino.

Saba has heard of a sacred tradition held by the mysterious rhino and decides to go on a trek across the Namibian desert to reveal the sociable side of this elusive beast. [52m]

7:30 <b>The Great Year</b> is a most unusual and stimulating work of art which explores the cosmic cycles spoken of by ancients from the Vedic scholars to the Mayans. In the distant past, it was believed that the movement of the stars guided the rise and fall of human civilization. How much did the ancients really know?  You’ll be enthralled by its vision and the sense of participating in something that’s much, much larger than ourselves.  Narrated by James Earl Jones. [46m]
  
* <b>Renewal</b> profiles eight faith-based groups on their journey to engage, learn and organize their congregations to be environmental stewards now and in the future. Follow Evangelical Christians as they bear witness to mountaintop removal; Muslims actively supporting sustainable farming; Jewish youth learning about waste; Buddhists engaged in persuading major magazines to publish on recycled paper and four other groups fully engaged in the greening of their congregations.

Spiritual Cinema



Waiheke Earth Cinema Circle (an offshoot of Spiritual Cinema Circle) is a group of people who get together for an offering of films from all over the world that explore the natural world — and fundraise 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 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).




Films for June (on the 9th) are:

7:30 The Great Year is a most unusual and stimulating work of art which explores the cosmic cycles spoken of by ancients from the Vedic scholars to the Mayans. In the distant past, it was believed that the movement of the stars guided the rise and fall of human civilization. How much did the ancients really know? You’ll be enthralled by its vision and the sense of participating in something that’s much, much larger than ourselves. Narrated by James Earl Jones. [46m]

8:20 The Mystery Of Chaco Canyon: Who were the ancient people who lived in this place we now call Chaco Canyon in the heart of the Southwestern United States? Why did they create such enormous and foreboding fortresses, capable of housing thousands of people, when new evidence proves that only a few hundred people ever actually lived there? Robert Redford narrates an intriguing journey through this land, exploring the archeological, astronomical and spiritual remains of a truly mysterious people. (55 min)

Proceeds will go to Te Atawhai Whenua.
