Film series begins Thurs. Sept. 25 at U Maine
In Search of the Future: What do the wise ones know?
Kicking off the Peace and Justice Center’s fall film series is a film that is generating thought and discussion across the country. “In Search of the Future: What do the wise ones know?” which features Penobscot elder Arnold Neptune will be shown at the University of Maine campus, Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 7:00 pm, in the DP Corbett Auditorium (on Flagstaff Road across the street from the Maine Center for Performing Arts). Free parking in the MCA lot. Suggested donations for the screening are $5 for students, and $10 for non-students.
The filmmakers, Director Andrew Cameron and Producer Connie Baxter Marlow will be in attendance to engage in discussion following the film. Connie Baxter Marlow was born and raised in Maine in a family of visionary politicians and philanthropists (think Percival Baxter and Baxter State Park!). She has created forums for visionary elders to share their understanding of the nature of the universe for the past 17 years, through photography exhibitions, films, lectures and ceremonies across the United States and Mexico.
“In Search of the Future: What do the wise ones know” is a bold and uplifting synthesis of information and ideas. Blending ancient indigenous wisdom, prophecy, science and western thought, the film tackles questions such as: where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? And are we in the beginning of a grand world-wide consciousness shift?
“Wake up and be aware. Do something! Change your way of life!”
-quote from the film: Grandmother Bertha Grove, Southern Ute Elder
