Festival Kick-Off Screening: TINY – A STORY ABOUT LIVING SMALL @ Annie Alley (next to SPUR Urban Center)7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
TINY – A STORY ABOUT LIVING SMALL
Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller, USA, 2013, 62 mins
tiny-themovie.comCan living small go big? Fresh off its premiere at SXSW 2013, TINY, a film about families living in homes smaller than a parking space and one couple’s attempts to build a similarly scaled house for themselves, will feel perfectly sized for a screening in the street-turned-pedestrian plaza atmosphere of Annie Alley. As a sneak peek of the 2013 San Francisco Green Film Festival kicking off a week later, TINY will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers.
Co-presented by the San Francisco Green Film Festival and SPUR and generously sponsored by the Yerba Buena Community Benefit District.

SFGFF at SF DocFest: FALL AND WINTER @ Balboa Theatre9:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Five years in the making, this epic documentary travels 16,000 miles across America in search of what is causing our global crisis. Pollution, droughts, and diminishing resources now threaten the very engine driving these catastrophes: civilization itself. Massive dislocations are manifesting in our lifetime, and the world will never be the same. Fall and Winter is a hypnotic voyage into the heart of our global crisis. It is a psycho-spiritual survival guide for the 21st century.
Director Matt Anderson’s feature-film debut, balances breathtaking cinematography with interviews of today’s most progressive thinkers, from anthropologists and bio-architects, to psychologists and activists, Fall and Winter examines our past and present, to offer hope for the near future.
Featuring interviews with Stanislav Grof, Betsy Perluss, Ianto Evans, Grace Lee Boggs, John Jeavons, Chellis Glendinning, Richard C. Murphy, Ed Naranjo, Kirkpatrick Sale, William Kotke, Richard Manning, and more.

SFGFF at SF DocFest: F*** FOR FOREST @ Roxie Theater9:00 PM – 11:00 PM
This award-winning documentary is the most controversial film at DocFest! It follows Berlin Germany’s Fuck for Forest, who may be the world’s most bizarre charity. Based on the idea that sex can change the world, this NGO raises money for their environmental cause by selling homemade erotic films through its website.
Since their first year of existence, Fuck for Forest has netted over $100,000 for rain forest protection. Founded in 2004, the group has donated money to small grassroots projects working locally with ecology in Ecuador, Peru, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Slovakia.
Meet Danny, a troubled soul, as he accidentally discovers this exuberant, neo-hippy world where sexual liberation merges with global altruism, and joins their already colorful operation. From the streets of Berlin to the depths of the Amazon, Fuck for Forest are on a planet-saving mission to save the indigenous peoples from the sick, sick West.
For mature audiences only! Explicit sexual content.

SFGFF at SF DocFest: WILLIAM AND THE WINDMILL @ Aquarius Theater5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Grand jury award-winner at the SXSW Film Festival, this documentary explores the brilliant young Malawi-based man, William Kamkwamba who builds a power-generating windmill from junk parts, effectively rescuing his family from famine and poverty.
William and the Windmill tells the story of a unique individual whose incredible invention sets into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Experience how Kamkwamba’s imagination and ingenuity can change a family, village, and a nation.
Not only must William overcome poverty, he must also grapple with newfound fame outside his native African country, Malawi. William’s success leads him to new opportunities and complex choices about his future, distancing himself miles away from the life he once knew.
Although William Kamkwamba’s story is rooted in Africa and the problems facing his local community, the film looks at issues that affect us all: education, food production, energy, cultural transition, and international development.
William and the Windmill is director Ben Nabors’ directorial film debut.

SFGFF at SF DocFest: THE LAST OCEAN @ Roxie Theater7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The little-known Ross Sea of Antarctica is the most pristine stretch of ocean on Earth. Scientists describe it as our last “living laboratory” that can teach us about the workings of all marine ecosystems. As the film’s stunning cinematography suggests, it’s also a place of remote and wild beauty. But fishing vessels have begun to intrude here, targeting Antarctic Toothfish. THE LAST OCEAN joins the race to protect the Ross Sea, and raises the simple ethical question: must we fish Earth’s last untouched ocean?
