Pacific NW Premiere! This scathing exposé examines the sketchy politics underpinning U.S. relations with the oil-saturated country of Venezuela, whose reserves are only surpassed by Saudi Arabia.

Bird People Eduard Erne, Germany, documentary, 92 min., 2004 (German and French with subtitles)
Pacific NW Premiere! Over four years, twenty biologists, dropouts and adventurers raised the birds in Jacques Perrin’s Winged Migration. The bird people became bird parents following and "raising" the migratory birds on their transcontinental journeys. But this fascinating film is about human behaviour and the transformation of those who "imprinted" themselves on the birds. Bird People will make you wonder about the human environment the birds had to adjust to in the making of Winged Migration. Was it nature, art, or artifice?
