Windfall

(Laura Israel, 2010, USA, 35mm, 81 min) The realities of modern rural life, energy production and the environmental movement clash in unexpected ways. This new documentary chronicles the upheaval visited on Meredith, New York, when an industrial wind farm takes up residence. Filmmaker Laura Israel, a part-time Meredith resident, interviewed locals on both sides of the divided community: those who have turned their land over to the 400-foot-high turbines to offset falling agricultural profits, and those for whom the noise and aesthetic blight outweigh any positive impact on the local economy. Turns out it’s not easy being green.

Directors in attendance!
Have You Ever Had a Beard?
(Kathy Wolf and Pat Thomas, 2011, USA, DVD, 35 min)
Like a title weight bout, raucous music writer Chris Estey goes "toe to toe" with cagey music maverick Calvin Johnson about important subjects such as beards and other mysteries of life. Have You Ever Had a Beard?
is a study in contrasts, comparing the lyric heavy songwriting of Calvin Johnson against the the ebullient music journalism of Chris Estey.  Meeting for the first time, both men perform at the Columbia City Theatre—a Seattle stage that’s played host to everyone from Bessie Smith to Jimi Hendrix since it's opening in 1910.

 

Standing at ground zero of a series of music movements that include Rriot Grrl and Grunge, singer/songwriter Calvin Johnson and his label K Records spawned a music scene unrivalled in the indie world. Both raconteur and sensitive artist, Calvin’s deep baritone booms across a generation of inspired vinyl.  However this film documents Calvin performing his new work, singing solo as he spits literary bop prosody in the form of three songs.  


In contrast, bearish Chris Estey, with his boisterous laughter and almost irrepressible need to be self-confessional, reads stories from his life, each memory spurred by a song on his favorite album, “Phil Ochs’ Greatest Hits.”  In parallel tangents, his life story unfurls from mobile homes to LA flops, all to the soundtrack of Ochs’ seminal album. Afterwards the two men compare notes, observations and platitudes about music, personal behavior and the experience of having facial hair, in what could be characterized as less an interview than a philosophical boxing match.

From the Back of the Room

(Amy Oden, 2011, USA, Blu-ray, 102 min) Deconstructing myths of the Utopian quality of alternative cultures, From the Back of the Room confronts punk patriarchy. With first hand testimonies from Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna, comic-book artist Cristy Road, Slug and Lettuce zinester Chris Boarts-Larson and Slade from Tribe 8, the film addresses issues of gender, race, class and sexuality within DIY punk. While cataloging the lineage of the femme-punk movement, the film serves as more than a history lesson; it's the beginning of a larger discussion on how these issues manifest today.

 

“Oden unravels the illusion that the '90s riot-grrrl movement was a be-all-end-all moment for women in punk without discrediting its definitive, unmatched impact. She provides an essential voice on not just femme-punk's lineage but rock history in general with unprecedented research and an uncompromising argument.” —Liz Pelly, The Boston Pheonix
