“Cinema GREEN”
A NEW environmental film series in collaboration with:
ECOMB The Environmental Coalition of Miami & the Beaches
Who Killed The Electric Car?
(A documentary film by Chris Paine/USA/2006/92 min.)
It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.
“If Americans are addicted to gasoline, what are the 12 steps to recovery?

The film will be introduced and followed with a Q&A by Mr. Allen Miller, President of the Miami Alternative Fuels and Electric Vehicle Club (MAFEV).

Sleepwalking Land (Terra Sonâmbula)
(Directed by Teresa Prata/Mozambique/2007/95mins.)
With Nick Lauro Teresa, Aladino Jasse, Hélio Fumo
In the midst of Mozambique's devastating civil war, Muidinga, an orphaned refugee, wanders the countryside in search of his mother. His only companion is an elderly storyteller, and the only guide to finding his mother is a dead man's diary. Together, the storyteller and diary lead him on a magical, and sometimes macabre, journey across war–torn landscapes to find the family he lost. Based on Mia Coutou's acclaimed Portuguese novel of the same name, Teresa Prata's transporting drama underscores the power of imagination in surviving, and ultimately overcoming, the catastrophe of war.
In Portuguese with English subtitles.

Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället)
(Directed by Ingmar Bergman/Sweden/1957/91 mins.)
With Victor Sjostrom, Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Bibi Andersson
The film that catapulted Bergman to the forefront of world cinema is the director's richest, most humane movie. Traveling to receive an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg (masterfully played by the veteran Swedish director Victor Sjöström), is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and accept the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries captures a startling voyage of self-discovery and renewed belief in mankind.
In Swedish with English subtitles.
WINNER: Golden Bear Berlin Film Festival and FIPRESCI Prize
Italian National Society of Film Critics Award
National Board of Review Best Foreign Film and Best Actor
“Wild Strawberries was acknowledged around the world as the seal on Bergman's career. The warmth and gentility of Victor Sjöström's performance render Isak Borg a character so sympathetic that the audience sides with him, however damning the accusations.”-Peter Cowie

Song From The Southern Seas
(Pesn' Juzhnykh morej)
(Directed by Marat Sarulu/Kazakhstan/2008)
With Vladimir Yavorsky, Dzhaidarbek Kunguzhinov, Irina Agejkina
Two couples, one Russian and one Kazakh, live side by side in relative harmony in a beautiful yet semi–desolate region of the Great Steppe. But when the fair–skinned Russians give birth to a boy of decidedly darker skin, fifteen years of suspicion and acrimony arises between them, and can only be resolved by an ironic twist of family and fate. At times darkly somber, at other times tender and wistful–and buoyed throughout by a soundtrack of folk–inspired melodies–writer-director Marat Sarulu draws on Kazakhstan's epic history to create a gritty and deeply compassionate tale of humor and cultural insight.
In Russian with English subtitles.
