Posted on September 2, 2020
“Death-Positive” film, “Dying Green” on UUSS-Zoom, presented by Molly Stuart on Friday, September 4 at 6:30 pm. Please join us! We are restarting the monthly “Death-Positive” film showings.
Friday September 4 (ZOOM Link): “Dying Green” A film about natural burial and land conservation. Set in the foothills of the Appalachians, this film explores one man’s vision of using green burials to conserve land. Dr. Billy Campbell, the town’s only physician, and his efforts have radically changed our understanding of burials in the United States. Dr. Campbell’s dream is to conserve one million acres of land. Dying Green focuses on the revolutionary idea of using our own death to fund land conservation and create wildlife preserves.
And For October: “The Art of Dying” or (Palliative Art Making in the Age of Anxiety) | Live from the Whitney: Inspired by Rainer Marie Rilke’s book “Letters to a Young Poet,” 79 year-old lesbian artist Barbara Hammer ruminates on the experiences of living with advanced cancer while making art. In this performative lecture delivered at the Whitney on October 10, 2018, Hammer shares guidelines and film clips from her long-term art-making practice. PLEASE NOTE: Film clips inside this presentation contain nudity.
