FFF's New Year starts January 2nd!

Happy last day of 2014!

Please join First Friday Films to ring in the New Year on Friday, January 2nd at 6:30pm at American Memorial Park. We will be showing the family-friendly film Dirt!
 
DIRT! The Movie–narrated by Jaime Lee Curtis–brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact that the soil has. It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil.

But more than the film and the lessons that it teaches, DIRT! The Movie is a call to action. “When humans arrived 2 million years ago, everything changed for dirt. And from that moment on, the fate of dirt and humans has been intimately linked.”
How can you affect that relationship for the better?

First Friday Films is a partnership between American Memorial Park, the Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality and the Humanities Council with support from other organizations and individuals. As always, our film events are free and open to the public. This event will run approximately 90 minutes.

Check out the Marianas Trench this Friday!

First Friday Films is featuring the Marianas Trench in its program this Friday, December 5^th at 6:30pm at American Memorial Park.

The public is invited to join us for two free films this Friday. First, travel with us on the “First Voyage to the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument” with a local film produced by APASEEM in 2012 about the expedition to the newly created monument. Then we will show episode 3 from CBC’s One Ocean series entitled Mysteries of the Deep.

Mysteries of the Deep joins a team of scientists, ranging from biologists to volcanologists on an international expedition to the Mariana Arc. Every day they make new discoveries about the outlandish deep-sea dwellers and dramatic underwater volcanoes. But even as scientists catalog these new findings, industrial fisheries are also delving further into deep waters in an attempt to replace diminishing fish stocks along the coasts. Can technology help us understand this little-known world before it’s altered further?

Before the film, representatives from the CNMI’s Marine Monitoring Team will share photos, stories and research from their 2014 expeditions to the Northern Islands, including parts of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument.
