LAZYBIRD
Sunday, 8pm 'til closing
Anseo (upstairs), 18 Lower Camden Street, Dublin 2
____________________________________________
Something of a change of pace for this month's 'Bird: there's a rather nice projector and screen in Anseo, so we've decided to take advantage of them to show a film by a friend of ours...
OIL, SMOKE & MIRRORS (2006, 50 minutes)
Produced and directed by Ronan Doyle
Peak Oil is a subject of no little controversy. We don't know exactly at what point in time global fossil fuel production will reach its maximum, and what the effects of the following period of declining supplies and reserves will be. People who believe that it's imminent have been decried as alarmist, and those who say we'll have plenty of time to prepare for it have been accused of naivete.
Ronan Doyle's film addresses the subject in the context of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks and the resulting "War on Terror", arguing that Peak Oil is fast approaching, and that many of the world's developed nations have based much of their recent domestic and foreign policies on this fact. Interviewees include Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Philip J. Berg, Christopher Bollyn, Colin Campbell, Julian Darley, Richard Heinberg, Michael Meacher MP, Paul Roberts, Chris Sanders, David Shayler and Webster G. Tarpley.
Oil, Smoke & Mirrors has been seen at events and festivals all over the world. It has also notably been removed from a number of programmes where it was due to be shown, most recently at a festival in Geneva. Whatever your views on Peak Oil, Iraq, Sept. 11 or US foreign policy, it's a film well worth seeing, one of the more thought-provoking pieces of work to come from Ireland in the last few years.

There'll also be music, of course: Rollers/Sparkers are not only good friends of Ronan as well, but will also be releasing an album on our label in a few months, so the two-thirds of them that aren't in the UK right now will be DJing as The Mohn & Jonty Show.

Because of the special nature of this Lazybird, it'll be free in, although a voluntary donation of a euro or two that we can give to Ronan and the Rollers for their efforts would be much appreciated. Hope to see you there.
Thanks,

The PowerFM servers have been down for quite some time now, so we can't say for sure if our weekly webcast, Radio-Inactivity, will be happening this Sunday. But if it does, it'll go from 6 to 7:30, be hosted by Paul and can be found at http://www.powerfm.org. Tune in, turn up, drone on.
