Join GreenWorks and The Grailhouse for an exciting new documentary film called The Guardians, which monarch ecologist Dr. Lincoln Brower calls “an eye-opener for conservation advocates.” Mexican poet and conservationist Homero Aridjis describes it as “a moving and compelling portrayal that brings home the confrontation between those who want to preserve the monarch butterfly forest and those who would destroy it for short-term gains.” A portion of ticket sales benefit Bee City USA Asheville.

In partnership with the Fine Arts Theatre, we’re celebrating the work of Black Mountain College alumnus Arthur Penn with two screenings of his classic films on the big screen. The films will be preceded by a short talk on Arthur Penn’s legacy in American film, a legacy rooted in his experiences at Black Mountain College.
July 12th – “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967). Arthur Penn’s modern classic was revolutionary in its time, opening the door for the hyper-violent, morally ambiguous films produced throughout the 1970s. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway star as two star-crossed lovers on a doomed crime spree across Depression-era America. They’re Young, They’re In Love, They Kill People.
July 26th – “Alice’s Restaurant” (1969). This film, based on the song by Arlo Guthrie and starring the musician as himself, captures the essence of late 1960’s counter-culture. Starting with a trip to the dump on a fateful Thanksgiving Day, the film follows Guthrie and his friends through a frenetic series of events that lampoon the Vietnam War and American society.
