| This is Climate Week in NYC, as The United Nations convenes a Climate Summit, focusing on Climate Action. In Reading this Friday, September 25 at 7 pm, the Goggleworks Boscov Theater will screen two documentary films about the process of creating art that awakens people to the living world and our changing climate. ACKROYD & HARVEY: The Art of Activism A portrait of internationally acclaimed artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey. Preoccupied with the climate and ecological crisis, their work has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement. This study of a lifelong creative partnership asks questions of where art and hope — and love — stand in our very uncertain world. A film by Fiona Cunningham-Reid, 80 minutes “Magical. The film was so touching and humbling and emotional and tender and everything.” Clare Farrell, Co-founder of Extinction Rebellion “A story told in sunlight and shadow, in the scale of tree-time and the size of heartbreak. It’s a praise-poem to photosynthesis, reflecting nature’s primal miracle: making life out of light.” Jay Griffiths, writer OF WIND AND WATER A stunning short, features Ned Kahn, renowned large form kinetic sculptural artist whose work explores the confluence of science and art, rendering visible living forces of the natural world. A film by Alexandra Lexton, 6 minutes |
