The human scale questions our assumptions about modernity, exploring what happens when we put people into the center of our equations. For 40 years the Danish architect Jan Gehl has systematically studied human behavior in cities. His starting point was an interest in people, more than buildings – in what he called Life Between Buildings. What made it exist? When was it destroyed? How could it be brought back? This lead to studies of how human beings use the streets, how they walk, see, rest, meet, interact etc. Jan Gehl also uses statistics, but the questions he asks are different.

For the next Casket we go west, to show you the award winning documentary, Bidder 70. This is powerful story of environmental activist Tim De Christophers and his amazing and effective acts of civil disobedience against the government. The directors follow the subject for years as they go in-depth to tell this story. This movie will challenge and may even light your fires of activism. Joining us after the film for a salon discussion will be special guest Andy Pearson of MN350.org. This promises to be a very special evening of awareness and passion to how each of us can be or recharge our climate activism. We will have on hand, info and petitions to plug you into the movement.

On January 9th, 8pm Casket Cinema will present OCCUPY LOVE, the new documentary on the Occupy Movement by Canadian Filmmaker Velcrow Ripper. The movie is a rare indie media look inside the protest movement. It travels across the globe visiting Occupy sites to ask the question “How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?”. The film makes out of the box connections the Occupy Movement shares with the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain with the Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond.

On November 7th, 8pm Casket Cinema will present THE PRICE OF SAND, the new documentary on Wisconsin Sand mining by local director Jim Tittle. The movie goes in depth on how a mine opened in western part of the state and quickly divided the community. It is a very personal and important investigation of mining, community, business and quality of life. The director will be present afterwards to talk with Mark Wojahn and other special guests. The Q&A takes the mission in the movie farther. We believe in sitting down and talking about issues is part of our responsibility as citizens.
