Film: Saneamento Básico (Basic Sanitation) (2007)
6 Jul 2011, 7:30 p.m.
Upbeat and comic look at social activism by the celebrated Brazilian director Jorge Furtado. A small town overwhelmed by the smell of sewage desperately needs a new drainage ditch, but there are no public funds for such a project. When one villager realizes they do have funds for creating a fiction video, she drafts a screenplay for a horror film, hoping to use the film as a smoke screen for building a drainage ditch. Of course, making a film proves to be harder than the town expects.

Event: Participate-Orama!
9 Jul 2011, noon
The Star and Shadow Cinema is run collectively by volunteers, using consensus. Consensus is widely regarded as one of the most empowering ways of making decisions in a group. At best, it allows people to come together as equals and find creative win:win solutions that everyone is happy with. However, it's not always easy! The Star & Shadow and Seeds for Change present 2 workshops on consesnsus decision making and facilitation. Whatever experience of consensus you have had - good, bad, or non-existent, you are very welcome to come along and join in with these two workshops.
