October 9 @ Moviehouse : American Meat

October 9 // 3rd Ward
7 pm Doors and Food // 8 pm Films

The heartfelt thought-provoking documentary that previewed at Moviehouse in 2010 returns for a very special screening.

American Meat explores the complexities embedded in the highly debated practices of the American meat industry. As the economy drives a contraction of conventional chicken, pork and beef operations, we hear the innovative methods of the charismatic, Virginia-based farmer, Joel Salatin. Joel, who is a leader of the growing niche of people who are opting for animals raised outside and without the use of antibiotics, believes that if more people become sustainable farmers, the movement could fracture centralized commodity production.

Conventional farmers argue that small-scale farming can’t expand production enough to adequately meet the demands of the nation. As the dialogue ensues, Salatin signs a deal with fast-food chain Chipotle in a surprising move, with widespread implications for the industry.

Plus, come early for food by ABCD's of Cooking.

September 11 @ Moviehouse: Between Chaos & Calm

 Somewhere between the serene stand-still and the turbulent turns of life lie these two masterworks. Blue Muse Dance‘s The Other Side and Nathan Punwar‘s Prologue to a Cyclops explore the two sides of the every day thoughts that rattle around our heads. Both artists will be on hand for a delicious after screening Q&A.

Featuring:
The Other Side by Blue Muse Dance

In everyday life, when facing certain situations, conflicts occur in the head -- we're swimming between common sense and insane, between calm and chaos. The Other Side mixes dance, sound, and video to create a landscape of the mind.

Prologue to a Cyclops by Nathan Punwar

First created for Moviehouse in 2010 as a silent film to be scored by three composers, Prologue to a Cyclops has now been passed on the many more musicians each creating their own unique soundtrack for the film. In it, Francis, a modern-day cyclops embarrassed of his single eye, hides away from the world until he is lured out of seclusion by Lina Rae, delivery girl and photographer extraordinaire. Inspired by her camera, he becomes obsessed with creating a two-eyed device to make him appear normal, but it threatens to sacrifice his unique vision

Canteen Magazine Presents: Hot Authors
A Photo Exhibit, Panel Discussion & Launch Party
Friday, September 16, 7-11pm
Panel Discussion, 7pm

Featuring: Tao Lin, Fiona Maazel, Christopher Kouloris, and Erin Hosier, moderated by Garth Risk Hallberg.

At one time, writers were sex symbols, cultural icons, rock stars. And today? Witness a numbing parade of overpaid and under-talented actors, musicians, and athletes crassly promoted through sex and provocation.

Canteen Magazine’s Hot Authors project combines the literary with the lascivious, the genius with the glam. Come celebrate the launch of their 7th Issue, in which they’ve paired 16 brilliant authors with 16 lauded art photographers. Each photograph mixes brains and beauty and is accompanied
by a question: “What’s the hottest thing you’ve ever read?”

Party to follow Panel discussion, with live music from Year of the Tiger and Gunfight, DJs, and complimentary drinks from Manhattan Cocktail Classic.
