CLEARLAKE — Second Sunday Cinema will be screening two free films on July 13, the second Sunday of the month, at. Clearlake United Methodist Church, 14521 Pearl Ave. near Mullen in Clearlake.
Lake County”s own Tom Slaight will be screening his self-made 20-minute video, “White Haze and Jet Trails.” When Tom moved here a number of years ago, one of Lake County”s most appealing features was its pristine blue skies. In 2002 Tom started noticing jet trails ? not the ordinary ones we see all the time, the ones that fade after a few seconds. These new trails did not fade ? indeed, they grew and grew and formed strange appendages. Sometimes they grew until the entire sky was “white haze.”
Tom, who”s been involved with photography for years, began video taping these anomalous trails, and asked, “What”s going on up there?” Tom has no conspiracy theories. He does want answers. NBC news in LA screened a story on this phenomenon, using Tom”s video clips. We will also see that four-minute news segment this evening.
Our second feature of the evening will be “The Seeds of Deception,” a documentary that presents meticulously researched information about the dangers of GE (genetically engineered) food or GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
Early arrival is suggested. Last month an overflow crowd of more than 80 people showed up to enjoy James Bluewolf”s “Hinthel Gaanula.” Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for socializing and snacks. Film starts at 6 p.m.
More information is available at 279-2957 or at 9164ster@gmail.com. Note: Shannon Tolson is not at the phone after 2 p.m. on the day of the screening.
