Casket Cinema kicks off our 11th season with a special Friday night screening. We will be showcasing 2 sneak peeks of clips from docs about population and parent (or non-parent) hood. The films are “8 Billion Angels” and “To Kid or Not To Kid”. Each film is still in post-production and will be premiering at festivals next year. After the screening we will be simulcasting conversations with the filmmakers. This unique evening is the brainchild of Casket Cinema veteran Dave Gardner and casket co-founder Wilbur Ince.

The Human Scale

Thursday, May 7, 2015 - 8:00pm

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 Love of Beer

Thursday, January 8, 2015 - 8:00pm
For the New Year Casket we are going bottoms up and will turn stereotypes upside down and lead you into the world of lady brewers, in the film, "The Love of Beer".
