“The Waybacks are no throwback. They've been erroneously pigeonholed as a bluegrass band and celebrated as purveyors of "acoustic mayhem." They are as uninhibited and unpredictable as the eclectic San Francisco Bay area that claims them. Their sound is touched by Memphis soul, honky-tonk, Parisian swing, classical music, and vintage blue pop! Opening this evening’s show is Bad Livers co-founder, Danny Barnes whose banjo stirs a feeling of timelessness with its old time/bluegrass/folk associations, add the free form jazz of Ornette Coleman to the legacy of Dock Boggs, remix it with DJ Shadow, and view it through a DIY punk aesthetic and you have some idea of Folktronics”! Undoubtedly this show is has little something for everyone!

BATTLE IN SEATTLE
Stuart Townsend / 2008 / USA / English / 100 minutes
WTO veterans and "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" fans may grumble, but should give this fictionalized version of the 1999 WTO protests a chance -- no, Townsend wasn't there at the time, and yes, the characters he follows can seem at times more symbolic than real, but as Sean Axmaker says in Green Cine, "I have to hand it to Townsend for not only showing how the protests caught the city by surprise and capturing the chaos within the loose organization of protesters... but also for getting beyond slogans to explain what the WTO was doing and what the protesters stood for, at least to come extent."

The Fall won a prestigious award at The Berlin International Film Festivall ast year. In Los Angeles, circa 1915, a silent movie stunt man has his legs paralyzed while performing a stunt. He convalesces in a half-deserted hospital, its corridors of cream and lime stretching from ward to ward of mostly empty beds, their pillows and sheets awaiting the harvest of World War I. The stunt man is Roy (Lee Pace), pleasant in appearance, confiding in speech, happy to make a new friend of a little girl named Alexandria Roy tells a story to Alexandria, involving adventurers who change appearance as quickly as a child's imagination can do its work.
Winner of both an award at Sundance Film Festival and the Seattle International Film Festival. Frozen River takes place near a little-known border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec. Here, the lure of fast money from smuggling presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be earning minimum wage. Two women - one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances - are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River.
