Now here's a rundown of cinema off the beaten track in Central Connecticut:
At Real Art Ways in Hartford, Blackfish continues through tomorrow. It’s the story of a performing killer whale that killed several people. The film combines shocking footage and emotional interviews to explore the multi-billion dollar sea-park industry.
Also playing through tomorrow is The Act of Killing, a documentary about small-time gangsters in Indonesia who go on to lead a notorious death squad, helping the army kill more than one million alleged communists, ethnic Chinese, and intellectuals in less than a year.
Then Friday begins a run of another documentary, Free the Mind. Convinced by the Dalai Lama to apply the same methods used to study anxiety and depression to research kindness and compassion, renowned neurologist Richard Davidson examines the nature of consciousness as manifested in our physical body, and the possibility of using mental practices to change the physical structure of the brain. The results Davidson finds through the course of his studies offer new hope for soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and youngsters with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Go to www.realartways.com for details.
