Join us for a screening of Tableland, which espouses the virtues of the slow food movement. The film will lead us to a larger discussion about the region’s water, air and earth and the projects that will affect those resources. Panelists will highlight both the grassroots and institutional initiatives dedicated to preserving Long Island’s environmental future and debate the pros and cons of the construction projects, like the Lighthouse and Heartland projects, as well as energy drives like wind farms. The forum will be moderated by Lawrence Levy, Exec. Director of Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies. Panelists include Elizabeth Wolff and Adam Koppels, of 18 Bay, a Bayville restaurant founded on Slow Food principles, and Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

About the Film: Tableland is a culinary expedition in search of the people, place and taste of North American small-scale, sustainable food production. Director Craig Noble argues for the re-localization of North American food systems, and a return to a fresher, healthier way of feeding ourselves. From the orchards of BC, the inner city gardens of Chicago to the Napa Highlands and everywhere in between, Tableland showcases the successful production of tasty, local, and seasonal food from field to plate. USA, 2008, 74 min.

Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries. Beer Wars begins as the corporate behemoths are being challenged by small, independent brewers who are shunning the status quo and creating innovative new beers. The story is told through 2 of these entrepreneurs – Sam and Rhonda – battling the might and tactics of Corporate America. We witness their struggle to achieve their American Dream in an industry dominated by powerful corporations unwilling to cede an inch. This contemporary David and Goliath story is ultimately about keeping your integrity (and your family’s home) in the face of temptation. Beer Wars is a revealing and entertaining journey that provides unexpected and surprising turns and promises to change the world’s opinion on those infamous 99 bottles of beer on the wall. USA, 2009, 89 min.; Dir. Anat Baron
