About the program:
Opening Music Act
Jean Jeanie of Future Twin on ukulele.
"Music for the front-lines, in a time when the word revolution is alternatively mocked, pimped, played-out and ignored, Jean Jeanie makes it like another world is still possible."
--The San Francisco Chronicle
The Film
The Last of the Nightingales - 32 minutes
The New Yorker award-winning documentary invites the audience to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world and reconnect with that world before it fades right in front of us.
Winner of the 2 Jackson Wild Awards, Best Documentary at Climate Week and the NY Wild Film Festival, among others.
In the late 1960โs Bernie Krause was a prolific composer & a foley artist who pioneered synthesizers and worked with industry giants such as Francis Ford Coppola, the Doors, and the Rolling Stones, but after one chance encounter with the sounds of the wilderness, he chose to change his career path in life, setting out to gather wild field recordings to help battle the climate crisis using acoustic information. Over half a century later, his vast archive of captured soundscapes reflects dire habitat devastation in the world, yet also yields urgent stories about the need for immediate change.
The Discussion
Q&A with the Director, Masha Karpoukhina (an El Sobrante resident)
A collaborative discussion about the state of the environment in our community and what we can collectively do about it.
