“Roots So Deep” is a four-part documentary series about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil. Parts one and four will be screened at this event.

In the documentary, the question is asked, “Can an underutilized way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon?”

“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze, and their neighbors set in their family’s generations-old method of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences – exploring if this adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change.

The historic Newtown Theatre will screen “Duck Soup” (1933) and “A Night at the Opera” (1935). Each film will be introduced by Newtown Movie Club host Joe Amodei, who will share short Hollywood trivia before each film.

In “Duck Soup” (run time 1:10), the country of Freedonia is in the middle of a financial crisis and on the brink of revolution. To gain a bailout from the wealthy Mrs. Teasdale, the government appoints Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho) as its president. Firefly and his cohorts Pinky (Harpo) and Chicolini (Chico) stumble their way into an absurd war with a neighboring country. The film is a relentless mockery of authority, patriotism and diplomacy.

“A Night at the Opera” (run time 1:31) is set against the backdrop of the highbrow opera world with the Marx Brothers infiltrating a snobbish cultural scene to help two young lovers succeed. Disguises, scams, and some of the brothers’ most famous routines—including the stateroom scene—turn elite society upside down. The film balances anarchic comedy with a more traditional romantic storyline.

The Marx Brothers – Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo – redefined screen comedy with their blend of razor-sharp wit, physical comedy and gleeful disrespect for authority. Their films broke from conventional storytelling, favoring verbal assaults, visual gags and surreal logic that influenced generations of comedians and filmmakers.

Synopsis

A silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood.

This fun, quirky event will feature a full spaghetti dinner at La Stalla followed by a classic “spaghetti western” movie at the theatre.

The night starts at La Stalla at 5:30 p.m. where guests will enjoy a family-style dinner of spaghetti, meatballs, Ceasar salad, bread and dessert. After dinner, guests will move to the theatre for a screening of 1966’s “Django” which will start at 7:30 p.m.

A “spaghetti western” is the nickname for a subgenre of films made by Italian directors in the 1960s and 70s. These often low-budget movies were shot primarily in Almeria and the Tabernas Desert in Spain. The main characters in spaghetti westerns are often anti-heroes with questionable morals and motives. They are frequently rugged, unshaven, and sunburnt, in contrast to the clean-looking heroes of traditional westerns. 

Directed by Sergio Corbucci, “Django” follows a mysterious, gun-slinging drifter named Django (Franco Nero) who drags a coffin behind him as he wanders into a desolate border town torn apart by a gang of racist ex-Confederates and a group of Mexican bandits. Torn between greed and justice, he becomes embroiled in the violent struggle between the two factions.
