This month's third Thursday film will be on the Second Thursday because of the FSU commencement. 

Waste Land  (2010 documentary) will be introduced by Eric Budd, a Political Science professor at Fitchburg State University, who will also lead the discussion folloiwng the viewing.  "An uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit." (imdb.com)  This fascinating film, directed by Lucy Walker and starring Vik Muniz, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, and won over 50 other awards.

"Waste Land is a film about recycling, but it's far more intriguing than the average eco-documentary. The subject is Brazilian garbage pickers, called catadores, and how an artist created striking portraits of a half dozen of them and transformed their lives."--San Francisco Chronicle

New England Notebook:  One Reporter, Six States, Uncommon Stories

An Evening with journalist and author Ted Reinstein, a longtime, award-winning reporter for “Chronicle,” Boston’s celebrated—and the nation’s longest-running—nightly TV newsmagazine.  In June, 2013, Globe Pequot Press released his first book, a collection of Ted’s most memorable and favorite stories drawn from over fifteen years of reporting from every corner of New England.  His talk itself runs approx. 50-minutes and covers, as Ted puts it, “the best of the best—my all-time most favorite people and places in New England.”  The talk is highlighted with photos, many the work of some of the region’s most talented and successful photographers, and all featured in the book.  Following the talk, Ted takes questions from the audience.  At the conclusion of the Q&A session, Ted’s books are on sale, and he is happy to personally sign copies.
