7:30 CONCRETE AND SUNSHINE (2002, 56 minutes)

Nicole Cousino will be present to discuss both films. Her revealing documentary "Concrete & Sunshine" probes the function of prison today, as a critical site within the geographical/social/political landscape of California. Through conversations with prisoners and community members, this important examination investigates the impact prison has on citizens across the state. Isolation, as a theme, is also used to provoke questions about the role of the individual in society and our own relationship to the state as a collective body. (www.concreteandsunshine.com)

9:00 FAT OF THE LAND (1995, 55 minutes)

The daring documentary about five ingenious women who drive a van across the United States, fueling up with vegetable oil pumped in from deep-fat fryers from fast-food joints. An utterly inspiring lesson in DIY alternatives to fossil-fuel addiction from five awesome women of Courage, Chemistry and Eco-activism: Nicole Cousino, Florence Dore, Julie Konop, Sarah Lewison and Gina Todus. (www.lardcar.com)

Members of the newly thriving Los Angeles biodiesel community have been invited to the screening to give an update on this alternative fuel in Southern California.

Nicole Cousino has been producing social documentaries for over 10 years. Her subjects have ranged from domestic violence to alternative fuel to incarceration. CONCRETE AND SUNSHINE was produced over the course of 5 years with assistance of California Prison Focus, a watch dog organization that monitors the human rights abuses in California?s prisons.
