Rescheduled events for this week

**Films and workshop that were postponed due to weather are taking place Wednesday and Thursday**

No Impact Man preceded by the short film The Story of Stuff

part of the UCsustainability film series, brought to you by MainStreet

No Impact Man (2009) is a documentary about a year in the life of a Manhattan-dwelling family who decides to go for one year with creating as little impact on the environment as possible. Fu...nny, inspiring and frustrating, this film helps highlight the myriad ways in which our high-tech, fast-paced lifestyles have created an enormous impact on our planet every day.The Story of Stuff (2008) is a short web-based documentary combining simple yet powerful animation, combined with narration by activist Annie Leonard. Like No Impact Man, it very persuasively makes the audience reassess the amount of energy going into every product and piece of packaging we use, and then where it goes after we use it.

Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation (rescheduled from Monday)

part of the UCsustainability film series, brought to you by MainStreet

Powaqqatsi (1988) is a documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio and with score by Philip Glass. The film consists of scenes shot primarily in the developing world, contrasting traditional lifestyles and natural e...nvironments with the rapid industrialization and Westernization occurring in these countries. The film does not have narration or dialogue, but includes voices of singing along with the haunting Glass score. In the Hopi language, the word powaqqatsi means "parasitic way of life" or "life in transition." The film is the second in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is preceded by Koyaanisqatsi (1982) and followed by Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology.
