Film & Food Night: "Living in the Future's Past"

Living in the Future's Past (2018, 80 mins) shows how no one can predict how major changes might emerge from the spontaneous actions of the many. How energy takes many forms as it moves through and animates everything. How, as we come to understand our true connection to our environment, we will need to redefine our expectations, not as what we will lose, but what we might gain by preparing for something different.

Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges shares the screen with scientists, profound thinkers and a dazzling array of Earth's living creatures to reveal eye-opening concepts about ourselves and our past, providing fresh insights into our subconscious motivations and their unintended consequences.

LOGISTICS: We will start with the film (feel free to come early to get settled), then have a potluck & discussion. Please bring a "potluck kit" - dish, bowl, cup, silverware, napkin - as well as your potluck contribution. We will be able to plug in crockpots, heat some items up, make hot water for tea.

PARKING: Parking available - but not free - in the Campus Crossing Visitor Lot which you can access from Mill Rd. across from Waysmeet, with the MUB on the far side of the lot. It's not free on Sundays - use the pay and display stations!

COST: We will be taking donations of any amount to cover costs for the event - purchasing the film and a screening license cost.

Our Film & Food nights are a chance for us to come together for both learning and getting to know each other better. We ask that you come with an open mind and heart to new information and new friends.

We hope that our film choices will teach everyone something they didn't know before and/or challenge ideas you have held. In our potluck and discussion we will also be looking to give everyone a chance to share and feel a part of the group. We believe that everyone has something worthwhile to contribute and the discussion leaders will help to facilitate the event so that there is space for all to share some part of themselves and what they bring.

These discussions are an opportunity to voice initial reactions to the film and topics at hand. We hope the discussion leads to opportunities for further conversations between all there, on the website afterwards, and via further research each person might do.
