For Fuel Sunday Sept 20 4:15pm -- you can also see it other times this weekend. Josh Tickell says it is important to see if on the first weekend, so that it will be held over the following week. After the last show on Sunday, he says, the theater needs to see 1000 attendees or more, for the film to be screened the following Friday. If not, it closes on Thursday night. So, seeing the film on Monday through Thursday does not determine whether it is held over.
Fuel took the 2008 Audience Award for documentary at Sundance -- and it's not hard to see why. Josh Tickell is thoughtful, earnest and immensely likable, as well as accessible. His film is the result of his 12-year journey of discovery and hard work, in which he tries to change his own life as well as the world by finding cleaner, greener solutions to our transportation needs. The film is far reaching and biting in it's commentary, yet it isn't preachy. It certainly isn't dry.
Fuel crackles with energy and heart, and it's definitely one of the better environmental films to come out in recent memory. So vote with your feet and check it out.
Features a Toyota Prius called now the Algaeus- to go on 150MPG on Algae- this has never been done, ever, ever! And in a similar vein, this is the first car to run on synthetic algae fuel made for a gasoline engine. And THE BIG GREEN ENERGY BUS that will go around the US to classrooms sharing about energy efficiency, water efficiency, fuel alternatives and all sorts of eco initiatives.
“Fuel” is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America’s troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country’s — and the world’s — addictive dependence on fossil fuels. Gary Goldstein, LA Times
Also at E Street Cinema this weekend. Earth Days - the movie -- Though many know the basic storyline, Robert Stone’s documentary, Earth Days, explores the roots of the first Earth Day, follows its rise through the legislative achievements in the 1970s, and collapse with the Reagan administration, with some intriguing surprises.
