TROUBLE THE WATER discussion forum
Saturday December 6,
7:00 pm at Cinemapolis
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival sponsors a FLEFF forum for this highly praised documentary portrait of a courageous New Orleans couple who filmed the floodwater of Hurricane Katrina as it rose to the rooftops of their 9th ward home.
FLEFF co-directors Thomas Shevory and Patricia Zimmermann will lead the post-screening discussion on the aesthetics and politics of this Sundance Grand Jury Award-winning documentary chronicling Hurricane Katrina from the inside.
TROUBLE THE WATER has been heralded for its groundbreaking documentary aesthetic, its powerful collaboration with its subjects, its innovative use of music, and its laser-sharp probe into poverty in America.
Shevory is also professor and chair of politics and Zimmermann is professor of cinema, photography and media arts at Ithaca College.
TROUBLE THE WATER has been short-listed for the Best Documentary Oscar for 2009.
