9/3/2010 PUFF Presents Josh Fox's 'Gasland'On Friday, September 3rd, Rooftop Films and the Philadelphia Underground Film Festival will present a special free outdoor screening of Josh Fox's powerful new documentary Gasland at The Piazza at Schmidt's in Philadelphia. Gasland is the story of what happened when a natural gas mining company offered Josh Fox and his upstate New York neighbors $100,000 each for the right to drill for gas on their land, and Fox thought he'd better examine what was going on before he signed away his property. This led him on a cross-country odyssey that uncovered a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. The result is an eye-opening documentary that is part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, and part showdown. Show Details:
Venue: At the Piazza at Schmidt's Address: North Second Street and Germantown Avenue Directions: http://www.atthepiazza.com/find-the-piazza.html Rain: This event will be held rain or shine. Cost: This is a FREE show! Rooftop Films, The Fledgling Fund, The Philadelphia Underground Film Festival, and International WOW Company are proud to help expose these horrifying stories--amazingly wide-spread and consistent wherever natural gas is drilled--in the hopes that this won't be a secret for long. This will be the first Rooftop Films screening held in Philadelphia, and will be part of a six city tour of Gasland through some of the areas most seriously affected by hydraulic fracturing.
9/4/2010 Winnipeg BabysitterSaturday, September 4 at 7pmWinnipeg Babysitter Curated and Performed by Daniel Barrow, Canada, 90 mins, video, color Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe In the late 70s and throughout the 80s, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, experienced a "golden age" of public access television. Anyone with a creative dream, concept or politic would be endowed with airtime and professional production services. When Shaw Cable purchased Winnipeg?s local cable station VPW, a rumor was circulated that Shaw destroyed the public access television archives and was systematically dismantling public access services. Shortly thereafter, artist Daniel Barrow began compiling and archiving a history of independently produced television in Winnipeg. For Winnipeg Babysitter, Daniel Barrow travels to each screening with hand crafted, overhead-projected liner notes, tracing the histories of public access television in Manitoba and describing the various and outrageous biographies of each television producer and personality. This style of commentary is deliberate; it is less intrusive and more respectful of the video images than a voice-over. In this regard, Winnipeg Babysitter is also a documentary, curatorial, and performance project. Featuring Survival (Greg Klymkiw and Guy Maddin 1982-87; Metal Inquisition (Fearless Pig and Terrible Dog, 1986); Delirious Photoplay (Myles and Drue Langlois of the Royal Art Lodge 1999); The Pollock & Pollock Gossip Show (Natalie and Ronnie Pollock 1986-89). Free admission members above Internationalist level; $5 Internationalists; $6 students + seniors; $8 general admission. In advance at TICKETWEB or 1/2 hour before showtime at The Ibrahim Theater Box Office.

9/7/2010 8 ChoreographersThe Live Arts Festival has thoughtfully provided an easy way to sample new Philly dance in Eight Choreographers/Eight New Works . Featuring eight rising talents in local dance, the program kicks off with new work from Meg Foley (who regularly performs with the marvelous Nichole Canuso Dance Comapny) and Megan Mazarick. Inspired by neon lighting and the movement of insects and partly informed by such diverse movement as zombies, crabs and maypole dances, Mazarick's Neon Gothic is a series of duets that seeks to capture the haunting quality of Flannery O'Conner in movement; and in Match vs. Match, a trio of dancers de- and reconstructs a dance in an examination of relationships. 8PM , $15-$25 dollars
