Under Fire: The Battle for the American Bookstore (2006, U.S.A.) 57 min.
Directed by Jacob Bricca. Documentary. Hosted by director of the Humanities Center Troy Jollimore, Philosophy.*

This gripping documentary chronicles the devastating effect of giant book chains on the country’s independent bookstores. During the golden years of the independents, there were 5,200 members of the American Booksellers Association—today there are fewer than 3,000. To illustrate this erosion, the film focuses on several leading independent California bookstores, such as Printers, Inc., and Bookshop Santa Cruz, which had flourished for over twenty years. The film depicts their struggles to stay afloat.

Note: the 30-second sneak preview of Cinema Botanica (Pornography for Plants) by artist Jonathon Keats will air first and be hosted by J. Pouwels, Art and Art History. This film accompanies the artist’s installation opening Sep. 10, 2007, at the 1078 Gallery (820 Broadway, Chico).

Zap Mama performances combine five beautiful voices, colorful costumes, interesting choreography, and impromptu theatricality in an eclectic mixture of styles somewhere between soul, gospel, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The audience enjoys a wondrous world journey, pausing to visit a Congolese souk, and then a few moments later, soaring on a flying carpet above the Taj Mahal — all performed with a substantial dose of “joie de vivre” and a disarming sense of humor.
