Films Across Borders: Stories in a Changing World Featuring Cooked: Survival By Zip Code
The Films Across Borders film festival, co-presented by American University, invites you to join in for a live virtual conversation with filmmaker Judith Helfand about her film Cooked: Survival By Zip Code on November 4 at 6 p.m. The conversation will be moderated by Executive Director of The Center for Environmental Filmmaking and SOC Professor Maggie Burnette Stogner.
The film is an award-winning feature documentary about extreme heat, the politics of disaster, and survival by Zip Code. In July 1995, a heat wave overtook Chicago as high humidity and a layer of heat-retaining pollution drove the heat index up to more than 126 degrees. City roads buckled, rails warped, electric grids failed, thousands became ill, and people died by the hundreds. Peabody award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand explores this drama that, when peeled away, reveals the less newsworthy but long-term crisis of pernicious poverty, economic, and social isolation and racism.
Films Across Borders, a showcase of critically acclaimed films, documentaries, and shorts from around the world, returns for a seventh year this fall. The theme for 2021 focuses on Stories in a Changing World. The film festival is a partnership with more than 20 embassies, cultural organizations, arts institutions, and environmental groups.
Launched in 2014, Films Across Borders raises awareness about highly relevant themes by combining international films and panel discussions with filmmakers and special guests.
To attend, RSVP: https://fab-cooked.eventbrite.com.
