The Bioneers Moving Image Festival Presents a screening of ‘We Still Live Here (As Nutayuneân)‘.
Panelist: Shana Maziarz (Wild and Scenic Film Festival) and L. Frank Manriquez.
This award-winning documentary tells a story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. In 1994 a Wampanoag social worker began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time addressing her in an incomprehensible language. This is because they were speaking Wampanoag, a language no one had used for more than a century. This discovery reaches members of the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanaog communities on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in their language, which brought a language alive again in an American Indian community after many generations. (55 minutes)

For the better part of three decades, The Prince of Wales has worked side by side with a surprising and dynamic array of environmental activists, business leaders, artists, architects and government leaders, including former Bioneers’ presenters Janine Benyus and Jay Harman. They are working to transform the world, address the global environmental crisis and find ways toward a more sustainable, spiritual and harmonious relationship with the planet. From organic farms, to the rainforests of British Columbia, to rare footage of HRH interviewing Al Gore about climate change in 1988, Harmony introduces viewers to a new and inspiring perspective on how the world can meet the challenges of climate change globally, locally and personally.

The Bioneers Moving Image Festival presents a screening of ‘Rock the Boat‘.
On July 25th, 2008, a dozen intrepid Angelenos took to their boats and kayaks and embarked on an ambitious and absurd mission to navigate the entire length of the LA River. Rock the Boat follows this controversial kayaking expedition down the cemented-in LA River, and looks at how the transformation of Los Angeles from a ‘dream city of endless possibility’ to the nightmare sprawl it is today arose from our habit of using, managing and re-imagining nature in a single-minded quest for more. (50 minutes)
Panelists: Director Thea Lucia Mercouffer with George Wolfe and Andy Lipkis, plus Shana Maziarz from the Wild and Scenic Film Festival
Friday, October 19, 2012, 6:15pm | Showcase Theatre, Exhibit Hall

In person: Annie Leonard (Story of Stuff) and Steven Hill (10 Steps Towards Rebuilding Democracy), Emmet Brady (Your Garden Show).
Ethos, presented on film by Actor and activist Woody Harrelson, lifts the lid on a Pandora’s Box of systemic issues that guarantee failure in every aspect of our lives, from conflicts of interest in politics to unregulated corporate power, to a military industrial complex that just about owns our government.
Ethos shows how the environment to our democracy and our own personal liberty are at stake. With interviews from some of today’s leading thinkers including Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, Ethos demonstrates a simple but powerful way to start making meaningful and sustainable change. (67 minutes)
