Adam Laiben screens his 2011 film HOME AGAIN, an adaptation of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s 2009 French documentary, HOME. A six-minute short film by Laiben will accompany the feature film. Also, come early and stay late for live music by Izapa.

“This film is regarded as one of the most important documentaries of our time and it transformed the way I look at this planet. Drawing from the inspiration of other non-verbal greats like Baraka, Chronos, Koyaanisqatsi, and Samsara, I set out to create a companion to the original using only music. Gather what you will from my particular take on this incredible French film; I saw these songs fall into place so perfectly, guiding me through a similar story of which the director was telling, but acting as a guided tour into the depths of audio/visual meditation, allowing the viewer to take in an immediate and more personal response from the images.” – Adam Laiben

More info:
Covering landscapes of 54 countries, this beautiful documentary is filled with aerial images of some of the most breathtaking parts of planet Earth. The story, originally accompanied by a minimal score and an ongoing narrator, takes you through the formation of the planet, the beginning of plant and animal life, creation of Mankind, and ultimately explains how mankind is now destroying the place which created him.

The visuals of Arthus-Bertrand’s film remain intact, but Laiben has dropped the soundtrack and added his own mix of electro, drone and orchestral works by a dozen well-known and obscure artists to create an engaging ambient soundtrack.

Doors: 7:30pm
Films start promptly at 8pm.
