Print‘Home’ returns to Sebastiani Monday
SHOT MOSTLY FROM THE SKY, “Home” explores the ecological sustainability from the air.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand/Special to the Index-Tribune
Due to the overwhelming response to the two recent Sebastiani Theatre showings of the movie “Home,” the film will be screened a third time at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 30.
Two November shows filled the theatre to capacity with more than 100 people turned away on the first night.
At this showing, the 90-minute version of the film, rather than the full two-hour version, will be screened to allow for more post-film discussion.
“Home” is the first ever, 100-percent aerial footage film, a trademark of Yann Arthus-Bertrand, world-renown for his photography and concern for ecological sustainability. The film tells the story of the planet’s evolution in sweeping unique images shot in more than 50 countries around the world that more than 400 million people have been able to view.
Set against a stirring, sometimes haunting, original soundtrack and narrated by award-winning actress Glenn Close, the feature documentary is shown at no charge in accord with Arthus-Bertrand’s idea that the film should be free. To help support the Sebastiani Theatre and Transition Sonoma Valley, donations will be encouraged.
The purpose of the film is to arouse the world’s attention to the incredible challenges humanity faces as the ever-increasing demand of natural resources far out paces supplies. A post-film discussion will focus on developing local solutions and building community resilience.
The film is again sponsored by the Sonoma Ecology Center and Transition Sonoma Valley, whose mission is to build a responsive network of local citizens, groups and businesses to create a resilient, self-reliant community in response to the challenges of climate change, peak oil and economic instability.

I watched this movie a year ago and this is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. Thank you so much for doing this.
With love from Stockholm, Sweden.

This is a problem that could be remedied more easily by establishing property rights where they do not exist and by freeing the energies of producers everywhere from legal theft and crushing restraints and regulations. In other words, capitalism is the solution to this problem. We should try it sometime!
