Saturday, November 16, 12noon, Studio 35 Cinema & Draft House, 3055 Indianola Ave.

In anticipation of the holiday shopping season, for November we are screening several short films about the pitfalls of unfettered consumerism.

• Forget Shorter Showers: A video adaptation of the famous essay of the same name by Derrick Jensen.

• Consumerism and the Limits to Imagination: A video essay by Justin Lewis on how capitalism has become unsustainable.

• The Shitthropocene: A humorous, thought-provoking anthropological exploration of humanity’s consumption habits. As the title suggests, please note that this film contains some graphic language. We think the message is not just appropriate but necessary for all audiences. However, use your best judgment before bringing children.

Like almost all of our screenings, this will be a matinee showing. Our host again is the historic Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse. Tickets are available now through their site. Doors will open at 11:30am, so come early to support a great local business if you want to have lunch before the films start.

Tickets: $8.00 plus a $1.50 fee for a total of $9.50.
