Hi, I enjoy reading your newspaper, probably because it rarely mirrors the Indianapolis Star. But you and the Star do have one thing in common—you say that things are located in Fountain Square—when they are not! Efforts to clear this up with the Star have failed (no surprise). May I hold you to a higher standard? Your July 10 issue had an interesting article on Rook. But, ugh, in the first paragraph you said it was in “Fountain Square’s Hinge Building.” Let’s make it easy for you, if it’s inside the interstate—it’s not Fountain Square. Why is that so difficult to get? Have you heard of Fletcher Place? We’re low key, low budget in marketing, and we are not Fountain Square. We welcome your visits. We welcome your articles and your accolades. But please keep us straight.

INDIANA’S VOICE FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING

INDIANALIVINGGREEN.COM

Thank you, NUVO, for doing this article (Cover story, “Parent power, Delana Ivey wants activism in IPS,” July 10-17), which is not only about one of our local sheroes, but also about the deep-seated problems in our schools. Although IPS is mentioned here, we know that these problems extend beyond this one school district and indeed, beyond our state. Too many parents of children of color believe that it is best to enroll their children in township schools, but the research shows that in too many cases, the suspension and expulsion rates are higher, and anecdotal evidence points to all sorts of problems with exclusion and isolation. NUVO, you also help raise awareness of critical pedagogy, and of the importance of students learning about what is relevant to their lives and the crisis of over-testing, especially in poor schools. And of course there’s more, like the Messianic zeal of Teach for America which consist of mostly White elites who are trained for a few weeks, then leave after two years — a situation that would never occur in whiter, more wealthy communities, but occurs exclusively in schools where Black and Brown children attend. One of the things our media need to continue to do is to draw on marginalized perspectives, like the ones of Delana Ivey and the Parent Power members. — Chalmer Thompson on nuvo.net

he last night that the Earth House was open, Dan Deacon played there. At the time, his album was No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s radio chart. Hundreds of excited people were there to see his performance in the old Methodist church building just a couple of blocks south of Mass Avenue that had been virtually abandoned just a few short years before. And that was it. The doors closed the next day and all the values, work and mission of the organization were suddenly gone. Here was this beautiful space right in the middle of Indianapolis that was a progressive gathering space — maybe the only place where the homeless, artists, activists, foodies, organizers, teenagers, young professionals, young, old, rich, poor, middle class, religious or nonreligious, could interact and collaborate. It was a true asset to the city of Indianapolis, and the doors were abruptly closed, leaving many to wonder how and why and what now? I was one of those people. So was Mike Oles. As an original founder of the Earth House, Oles had poured his heart and soul — and money and time — into creating this space and literally watched his dreams shatter just nine months after he made the decision to leave. He didn’t like it, so he decided to do something about it. After the dust settled, Oles began brainstorming with Rev. Brent Wright, pastor at Broad Ripple United Methodist Church, whom he had met at the Earth House. The two began working to start a cultural center — something similar, but different from the Earth House. The pair wanted to see a place focused on the community and social justice issues that offered a revitalized Earth House feel. The result is Evoke Arts and Media. As a new venue in Indy for arts and collaboration, Evoke and Broad Ripple United Methodist Church want to make sure that certain values are shared and articulated, and that the leaders have specific ideas about the way they grow the organization. Broad Ripple United Methodist Church is a beautiful church, only a block away from the main intersection in Broad Ripple, and has ample space for music, film, art, studios, food, conversation and community organizing. They plan to have them all in this space with the intention to build community. If this place can successfully pull off what the Earth House was unable to do in the end, Evoke could be exactly the kind of place this city needs. “Growing up we all wanted to go to Broad Ripple, but you really had to be 21

to really take part in the music scene,” Oles said. “Things have changed a bit, but not really enough — especially in Broad Ripple. This space can be an anchor here in Broad Ripple and Indianapolis for people who want to see a concert and not be 21. Beyond that, our priorities are honoring diverse viewpoints, transparency and accountability, being a good neighbor, a good Samaritan and good partner, and fighting for the common good.” During a recent writers convention held in the space, a drunk wandered in from the bar scene down the street and was semi-curious about what was going on. He shouted out during a poetry reading, “What is all this diversity crap going on?” I think that is a pretty good summary of the space. A place (read: church) where drunk people are welcome to stumble in and shout at poets during their performances, because, at the end of the day, they’re all an equal part of the community. Evoke has plans to become a 501(c)3 charitable organization, but in the meantime will do lots of grassroots funding and begin to host events and artists. That kicks off with Nelson Mandela Day on July 18 at 7 p.m. The showing of a South African documentary about Mandela’s first year as the country’s president will be followed by a discussion about how to make Mandela Day a powerful day each year for justice and service in Indiana. The event will be held in the “sacred space,” formerly the traditional sanctuary. The pews and stained glass windows, which have been replaced by stackable chairs and local artwork. Convincing a church devoted to tradition that it was time to reinvigorate the congregation and devote itself to community activism is a true testimony in standing up for beliefs. It should be a lesson we all learn about practicing what we preach.

WHAT HAPPENED? Parental activism continued About 200 people gathered Downtown Monday night for a peace walk to focus attention on the victims of violent crimes in Indianapolis this year. Some people left the event feeling like more could and should be done to engage people likely to be involved in violence. Last week's cover story subject, Delana Ivey, is organizing a group — so far about eight people are committed — to be in the heart of the Black Expo-related action on the streets Downtown from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to engage the crowds in conversation about positive change. "We will be going to talk to them about what's going on in education: Why you want to drop out, why you're here on the planet — why we have to be better," Ivey said. She encouraged people interested in positive, direct action to contact her at 657-0477 or creatingcorechange@ yahoo.com. "It has to be done," she said. "If I don't do it, I'll feel like I somehow sold out." Neighborhood redevelopment via hydroponics A 100,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art, hydroponic greenhouse is set to revitalize a 5-acre parcel at 2219 W. Michigan St. that city officials say has stood vacant since 1996. Built in partnership with the Westside Community Development Corporation and Marsh Supermarkets, the BrightFarms facility will cultivate hydroponically grown, GMO-free produce using integrated pest management. BrightFarms finances, designs, builds and operates greenhouse farms near supermarkets to improve the environmental impact of the produce supply chain. Marsh is set to be the new facility’s exclusive retail partner. The project is "a testament to our community’s ongoing growth and our collective efforts for neighborhood revitalization,” Congressman Andre Carson, said during press conference detailing the project on Tuesday. “BrightFarms will not only ensure better access to fresh produce and tackle issues of hunger in Indianapolis, it will strengthen our local economy and bring much-needed jobs to the people that call this community home.” Market Square site re-envisioned City officials on Tuesday announced plans to build a 28-story, mixed-use facility on the north lot of the former Market Square Arena site. The $81 million project, to be led by Flaherty & Collins Properties, will include 300 luxury apartments, 500 parking spaces and 43,600 square feet of ground floor retail. The oblong, all-glass building is targeted for completion in 2016. The average apartment will be 875-square feet. Rents are anticipated to range from $1,300 - $2,400. Cutting energy costs, creating jobs An effort is currently underway to bolster energy efficiency and job creation through government loans. State Rep. Dan Forestal , D-Indianapolis, is leading a working group to craft a clean energy bill, which would include the introduction of a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program to Indiana. PACE programs enable local government agencies to issue loans to businesses seeking to finance energy-efficiency improvements on their properties. Forestal plans to introduce the bill in the 2014 legislative session. Partners in the effort include several state agencies, the Hoosier Environmental Council , the Indiana Builders Association, the Indiana Bankers Association, the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns and various utility companies. Crooked counselor The gig is up for William Conour. On Monday, the Indianapolis accident and injury attorney pleaded guilty to defrauding more than 25 clients of over $4.5 million since 1999. Investigators charged that he stocked settlement trust accounts with just enough money to cover monthly payments to their owners, while keeping for himself the majority of his clients’ money. -REBECCA TOWNSEND (AISTE MANFREDINI CONTRIBUTED TO THIS REPORT) 6 NEWS // 07.17.13 - 07.24.13 // 100% RECYCLED P APER // NUVO

CONFRONTING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NAACP leads effort to alter disproportionate share of pollutants borne by people of color B Y REBECCA TO W N S EN D RT O W N S E N D @ N U V O . N E T

enise Abdul-Rahman’s task as the Indiana NAACP’s newly appointed Environmental Climate Justice chair is no small order: Empower people within the state’s 26 local chapters to confront environmental injustice in their communities. “Once you become awake, then the awareness of our existence — it becomes a bit overwhelming,” Abdul-Rahman said during a recent visit to NUVO. “And then: How do we manage? How do we advocate? How do we create better industrial systems?” Part of her work is to gauge the level of awareness of and engagement with environmental issues across the state. “I think it is our responsibility, those that are aware, to make them aware that life is going to be affected: the longevity of your life, the quality of your life is affected, and so there is a fierce urgency that you engage,” Abdul-Rahman said. Her goal “is always to listen and then provide the resources, the tools, the information to persuade and help others understand because, in my opinion, the environmental challenge is No. 1. Your life, our lives are being affected. It is quiet, unspoken, but if you are dying at 35 or 40 … I met people whose brothers and sisters have died at 35 working in toxic types of work environments — and they know it is because they worked in a particular plant.” Abdul-Rahman’s work unfolds in tandem with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s campaign to highlight the legacy of environmental injustices associated with coal power. In November, the group outlined its case in “Coal-Blooded: Putting Profits Before People,” a report published in cooperation with the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization and the Indigenous Environmental Network. The report evaluated the performance of 378 coal-fired power plant based on environmental justice standards, a matrix that considered: sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions; the total population living within three miles — and the percentage of people of color — and the median income of the population. Seventy-five of the plants evaluated received “failing” grades. The authors noted that those plants produced 8 percent of the nation’s electricity

BRIDGING THE GAP The Indiana NACCP is planning a conference — “Bridging the Gap: Connecting the Black Community to the Green Economy” — to connect more people of color to jobs that address environmental issues through everything from advocacy to technology. The date is set for Oct. 24. To support the NAACP’s environmental justice efforts in Indiana, contact Denise Abdul-Rahman at inecjnaacp@ att.net. — and 14 percent of sulfur dioxide and 13 percent of nitrous oxide emissions. “A total of 4 million people live within three miles of these 75 failing plants,” the report’s authors wrote, referring to plants that received an “F.” “The average per capita income of these 4 million people is just $17,500, and out of these 4 million people, nearly 53 percent are people of color.” Of the 12 plants deemed to have the greatest disproportional effects on people of color, two were in Indiana and six more elsewhere were in the Midwest. Dominion’s State Line Plant in Hammond, Ind., which ranked No. 5 on the Coal-Blooded worst-offenders list, closed in 2012. Duke Energy’s R. Gallagher Generating Station in New Albany, Ind. — No. 8 on the list — is still in operation. “We are committed to preserving the livelihood of our communities, our country and our climate,” Jacqueline Patterson, the NAACP director of Climate Justice Programs, said in an announcement of the report’s release. “Old, dirty coal plants are poisoning our environment, and emissions controls are simply not sufficient.”

NAACP President and Chief Executive Benjamin Todd Jealous stressed the bottom line: “Coal pollution is literally killing low-income communities and communities of color. There is no disputing the urgency of this issue. Environmental justice is a civil and human rights issue when our children are getting sick, our grandparents are dying early, and mothers and fathers are missing work.” The Coal-Blooded report, which opens with a retrospective on the environmental justice movement in the United States, positions contemporary activism within a broader framework: “Environmental issues are not isolated instances,” the authors wrote. “They are a broad national concern with civil rights implications. Historically, people of color have disproportionately experienced negative outcomes associated with their physical environment.” Abdul-Rahman, who has a master’s degree in health care management and is currently studying health informatics, is eager to expand partnerships to document and map such disparities. Other issues on her radar in Indiana include other states’ efforts to store their coal ash here, sewage overflow into surface waters and remediation efforts at existing and proposed Super Fund sites, including groundwater wells near Keystone Avenue and Fall Creek Parkway contaminated with chlorinated solvents. “People of color — nationally — hold 1 percent of the energy jobs and pay about $49 billion dollars in energy costs,” she said, noting the NAACP is currently engaged in a “Bridging the Gap” effort to connect more people of color to jobs in the green economy. The local chapter plans to host a “Bridging the Gap” conference on Oct. 24. “Everybody should lean into environmental justice,” she said.

CONFRONTING THE ASIAN CARP INVASION

BY M EG A N BA N TA EDITORS@NUVO.NET

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller is touring the Wabash River in a speedboat this week to raise awareness about invasive fish species and the risks they pose for the river’s ecosystem. Zoeller joined John Goss, who heads the federal government’s efforts to control Asian carp populations, on Monday to begin the tour, stopping along the way to speak with local officials and conservation groups. They stopped in Wabash in the morning, Peru around noon and Logansport later in the afternoon. The trip continues through Thursday, with stops in Lafayette, Clinton, Terre Haute, Merom, Vincennes and New Harmony. According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, silver carp and bighead carp — two species of Asian carp — have been present in the Wabash River since 1996. Goss, a former Indiana DNR director, said while the biggest threat from these invasive species is in Illinois, there are significant populations of silver and bighead carp in the Wabash, especially south of Lafayette. Goss said the carp compete with native fish species for food and disrupt the natural food chain. “The Asian carp eat more, grow faster and reproduce faster than our native fish,” he said. “In just a short space of time, they can become the majority of the fish population.” He said there are some areas of the Wabash where these species make up more than 50 percent of the fish population. Silver carp pose an additional risk. They are known for leaping out of the water when startled by the sound of boat or jet ski motors. And because they grow so large — up to 90 pounds and 4 feet long — they can cause physical harm to property and people. Goss said the largest part of the federal government’s effort is to ensure the species do not establish themselves in the Great Lakes.

But the government is also concerned with the environmental problems Asian carp are causing. Officials said that people who live and fish along the Wabash can play a big part in efforts to counteract the carps advance. People should be careful when using live bait because young Asian carp look just like any other minnow, Goss said, advising people not to dump live bait they caught in another water source to “make sure we’re not aiding transfer” of the species. Sanctions are in place requiring people to kill Asian carp if they do catch them, Zoeller said. He said though he doubts there will be any tough enforcement regarding release of Asian carp, people should know not to turn these fish loose. When it comes to invasive species, as well as other threats to the rivers, Zoeller said people need to be aware of the problems and involved in the solutions. “It’s not going to be all fixed out of government,” he said. “We need people to take stewardship over our resources.” He commended officials in Peru, including the mayor and parks director,

for their efforts to encourage people to use and take care of the river. In addition, Zoeller commended the efforts of Hoosier Riverwatch, a volunteer-driven group that supports statewide waterquality monitoring projects. The attorney general also highlighted his concerns about mounting costs throughout the Midwest as officials try to prevent Asian carp from entering Lake Michigan, noting his hope that Hoosiers will not shoulder an unfair portion of project costs to control a species they were not responsible for introducing into the wild. According to the National Park Service, Asian carp were introduced into southern aquatic farms to control weeds and parasite. From there, the fish managed to migrate into the Mississippi River and have been moving northward ever since. The 2013 Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee’s Monitoring and Response Plan for Illinois Waters, released in May, notes that more than $6.5 million in Asian carp control projects are now in the works. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers currently maintains electric barriers in waterways outside Chicago to protect Lake Michigan. In Indiana, a chain-link fence across Eagle Marsh near Fort Wayne acts as barrier to prevent the fish from traveling to Lake Erie through Maumee River tributaries, and a group of local, state and federal officials is working on a plan to reconstruct berms in high-risk Northeast Indiana waterways to reduce the opportunity for species transfer between watersheds during flood events.

ndy Film Fest will be all over town in the next couple weeks, from the Harrison Center gym to the Eiteljorg, Sun King to the Libertine, the Indiana History Center to Tibbs Drive-In. Home base for the tenth annual edition of the festival remains the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where two screening rooms will churn out new movies from July 18-28. But the fest has been synonymous with mobile cinema for the past year — launching a full season of Roaming Cinema, which pairs movies with appropriate venues (say, Fight Club in the City Market catacombs); winning $10,000 at a 5x5 idea pitching event to make mobile screenings happen in places unequipped with screen, projector or sound. And so it makes sense that a Roving Cinema component is at the core of this year’s Indy Film Fest. Evening shows in venues around town will move the fest out of the IMA and into the community for six nights of the 11-day festival. Medora, a documentary by the creators of Found magazine, about Medora High School’s woeful but proud basketball team, opens up the fest’s pop-up schedule at the Harrison Center for the Art’s gymnasium on July 19. Then comes Hey Bartender, a doc about mixology, at The Libertine (July 22); Lost for Words, a slick rom-com set in Hong Kong, at Tibbs Drive-In (July 23); Out of Print, a brisk, wide-ranging doc about, mostly, e-book technology, in a free screening at the Indiana History Center (July 24); and Fall and Winter, a doc about climate change, at the Eiteljorg Museum (July 25). The series closes out July 26 at Big Car Service Center with Detroit Unleaded, about a Lebanese-

American who reluctantly inherits a gas station (and, along with the surprising and excellent CASS, one of two films made in Detroit on the festival lineup). And Indy Film Fest itself has been on the move. Last year’s fest was headquartered at the Earth House, which closed under financial duress at the end of August. The festival stuck around in its office until January, when the building’s owners finally forced the organization to vacate. They’ve ended up in a temporary home on North Penn, and it was there in the waning hours of the afternoon that NUVO caught up with board chair Craig Mince and marketing and PR head Kate Pell.

An all-volunteer operation It had to be late afternoon because Indy Film Fest is a wholly volunteer-run organization, and just about everyone has day jobs — Mince at the IMAX at the Indiana

State Museum, Pell with Simon Property Group (and formerly with the Arts Council of Indianapolis). Mince says there are eight year-round volunteers on staff, but that there’s also a “sleeper cell” of temporary volunteers who activate every year during the summer festival. Mince joined the board in 2009 when festival founder Brian Owens took on a full-time job with the Nashville Film Festival. Owens launched the festival after he returned from a trip to the Toronto International Film Festival and decided Indianapolis deserved something on a similar level. The first edition was a three-day affair at Circle Centre’s movie theater, and it expanded from there, eventually reaching its current 11-day length. But if Owens was a visionary, he also left the festival with a debt burden that Mince and the board worked until last year to pay off. “It’s surprising when you can get rid of bottom-line debt, how much you can reinvest,” Mince says. Mince stepped in as someone with theatrical and festival experience; he’d organized a couple editions of the Really Big Short Film Festival, featuring shorts on IMAX’s really big screen, before he answered the call for a programming expert. Pell says of Mince that “he puts his heart and soul into this,” that “he wants to see Indy thrive as a film community; and for a change, we’re actually putting a dent in that goal.” Pell is new to the festival. To give a little context, Mince is one of the veterans on staff, and no single staff volunteer has stuck around since it was founded. Pell started last year as a blogger, then took on her PR and marketing position in 2013. “Anyone on the board will tell you that I know nothing about film,” she jokes. “It’s gotten to the point where they stop asking if I’ve seen this

or that movie. It’s not so much about the film aspect for me, but about the way art and film get to the masses. It’s encouraging people to talk about art, getting people to the Fringe Theatre or Indy Reads Books.” Mince says he’ll be around forever — “you’ll have to pry me off this thing with a pry bar” — and that, like Pell, he’s doing this for the community, not for outside filmmakers (or cinephiles, necessarily) or to impress anyone outside this market. From that perspective, the festival is about “adding another layer to the market as far as cultural events that bring in and keep people here professionally.” And it’s also about helping the local filmmaking community via Skype Q&As and in-person interactions — and showing outsiders that Indianapolis is a viable spot in terms of both distribution and production. It hasn’t all gone according to plan, of course; Mince talks of technical glitches and last-minute theater changes and that time that a tiger nearly mauled a captive audience. Wait, that’s a little sensational; as the story goes, in 2009, the Fest presented a documentary called The Tiger Next Door about a rather unbalanced dude living in Flat Rock, Ind., who kept an awful lot of tigers and other dangerous animals in his backyard. The director and the animal keeper were scheduled to attend the first screening, and a few days before it was to take place, the keeper called up Fest staff to inform them that he would be bringing a tiger to the screening. In a cage, of course. And he wasn’t asking; he was telling, just giving a fair warning. The requisite shitstorm ensued, as the IMA, then the DNR and probably other acronyms got involved, while the keeper remained committed to bringing his animal friend. The DNR sent two armed constables to the screening, but they ended up twid-

CRAIG RECOMMENDS …

TEN YEARS OF INDY FILM FEST

Craig Mince shares a few of his favorites from this year’s Indy Film Fest slate.

Here are five key films that have screened during festival’s history, with commentary by one-time festival managing director Lisa Trifone, who now works in marketing and publicity for FilmMovement. BLOOD BROTHER

THE BOUNCEBACK

“I tear up every time I think about it, and it’s a good tear. It’s one of those movies that gives you faith in humanity to know that somebody like that exists in the world.”

“It’s kind of a raunchy comedy; Michael Bricker from People for Urban Progress worked on it as production designer. It takes place in Austin and it’s about love lost. It has cringe-worthy moments and ends at the National Air Sex competition.”

dling their thumbs; the keeper didn’t bring his cat, and the screening went ahead without any sort of dimension-crossing, cat-leaping-out-of-the-screen surrealism. “It was not a PR stunt,” Mince assures (and this writer will add here that NUVO is taking this story on Mince’s word, because it is a good story).

A complementary role to Heartland At its most basic level the festival offers an opportunity to see films that almost certainly won’t make it to local cineplex screens, and that more than likely won’t become available on Netflix or home video. Mince estimates that of 100 films shown in the festival, only 10 will make it to theatrical distribution — and those numbers sink even lower in the case of short films, practically to zero out of 100. Mince says that Indy Film Fest doesn’t compete as much against other festivals (most are held in the spring or fall), as against an accelerated theatrical release schedule, which finds films going very quickly either to theatrical distribution or video-on-demand. A movie that might have made the rounds of film festivals for an entire year may now be snapped up after (or before) a first festival screening in order to feed video-on-demand’s endless appetite for content. But he’s not concerned about, for instance, Heartland as a competitor; he makes the case that Indy Film Fest serves a sort of complementary role to that the city’s other large-scale film festival by bringing in films that don’t

PERSISTENCE OF VISION

TALES FROM THE ORGAN TRADE

“It’s a documentary about the guy who animated Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and who worked on a film for literally 25 years. It was to be the crown jewel of animated films, and a lot in it seems technically impossible.”

“A documentary about the organ trade on the black market. The opening scene has guys showing scars from where they had one of their kidneys pulled out, but once you get past that hurdle you get enthralled in it.”

2004: STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL A docudrama about attempts by a community of Gobi Desert nomads to save a camel abandoned by its mother proved a surprise art house hit following its festival run. “The first few years were hard, to say the least — always a reevaluation, year after year, of, “Should we do this again? Do we have it in us?” Trifone says. “But the answer was always yes, it’s worth it to put all this planning in, build this event up because these films matter, and Indianapolis having a chance to see them matters.”

2006: KINKY BOOTS A winsome little tale about fetish footwear in the old-British-people-talking-about-sex vein of The Full Monty won an audience award for best comedy as the fest extended to nine full days, with a significantly expanded program.

align with Heartland’s mission statement for one reason or another. And he’s not terribly concerned about the transition from analog to digital technologies (only one film will be screened on 35mm film at the festival — and only because Tibbs Drive-In hasn’t yet converted to digital projection). “The way in which of films are theatrically released is changing, but it’ll always be an experience,” he says. “Maybe it’ll go back to regional theaters, but there isn’t a house in American than can compete with IMAX theater in terms of the experience.” Mince says that while, in the early years, the festival relied on submission fees for much of its income (i.e. the costs filmmakers pay to submit their movie for inclusion to the festival), the organization now relies on three key streams to keep the doors

open: donors, ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. Submission costs are used only to cover administrative costs. But some things haven’t changed over the years, including the festival’s three main categories — Slice-of-Life (documentaries), American Spectrum and World Cinema. “It’s a dynamic year when it comes as far as programming is concerned,” Mince says. “There’s something for everyone, from the family unit, to the casual moviegoer, to the self-proclaimed movie buff; it’s just so good across the board.” He notes the festival has been more actively soliciting feedback from filmgoers in recent years, and that as a result, there are, for instance, more familyfriendly features on this year’s program. Mince says he keeps at it because of the opportunity to “hang out with like-minded people and to expose this market to new films. There isn’t a bigger thrill than to stand there and watch people watch movies; a sold-out screening to me is crack.” So if you look to the back of the room and see a 30-something blond-haired guy looking back at you with a big old grin — and that guy is wearing an official lanyard — know that it is just Craig and he’s happy to see you there.

2009: (500) DAYS OF SUMMER The film that cemented the indie cred of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel opened an Indy Film Fest that had moved to a summer schedule to better attract audiences and avoid conflicts with other regional festivals. 2010: A LITTLE HELP The first film to take home a little money with its Grand Jury award — $1,000, to be exact — is a comedy about a dental hygienist played by Jenna Fischer (Pam on The Office) that never found wide release.

FILMMAKER JOE SWANBERG IS TRYING AGAIN B Y SCO TT SH O G E R SSHOGER@NU VO . N ET

Thirty-two-year-old Chicago-based filmmaker Joe Swanberg churned out feature films, shorts and web series by the gross through the late ‘00s and early ‘10s, the high-water mark being seven features in 2010. He filmed most of them himself, sometimes with a sound guy, sometimes not, using whatever digital equipment was available at the time on a very limited budget. A film school grad (Southern Illinois), he spurned classical film technique in order to more realistically express himself and depict his world, from uncensored sex scenes to long, improvised conversations about art, life and relationships. But he now finds himself on a different path: “I feel really excited to re-embrace filmmaking, film language and this whole system of moviemaking that people spent over 100 years trying to perfect,” he told us recently. And he’s making that first step with Drinking Buddies, a romantic comedy (of the smart, early ‘70s variety, he says) that will open Indy Film Fest on July 18, a little under a week before it goes to video-on-demand and a month before it arrives in theaters. It’s the first movie he’s made with a fullscale film crew and with a bunch of wellknown actors: Olivia Wilde (Thirteen on House M.D.), Jake Johnson (Nick on New Girl), Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air), Ron Livingston (Office Space) and, in an uncredited role, SNL vet (and Wilde’s husband) Jason Sudeikis. But like his previous films, it was still improvised on the spot, and it still aims for a realistic take on relationships and a slice of his world — namely, the craft beer 12

scene, just about the “most exciting thing going on right now in America,” he says. NUVO: Your movie gets toward a complicated, mature view of how relationships can work out, that you see in a certain kind of movie made in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. And you have four characters who switch up their affections like in Paul Mazursky’s Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice . JOE SWANBERG: Yeah, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was certainly the big inspiration on the movie; it’s my favorite film and a high water mark in terms of Hollywood comedies. There was also some French stuff in there; some of Eric Rohmer’s films were a big inspiration. It all, for me, was about trying to make something personal, but also something that registered with people. Coming into Drinking Buddies I was coming out of a period of really self-reflexive movies that existed very squarely in the art house world, and were not meant to be for a wide audience — and I realistically knew that they would never cross over. I’m at a place in my life … where I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to the audience to give them entertainment in exchange for their ticket purchase. And that’s new and exciting for me. It think it’s a really healthy place to be as an artist, to enter into more of a conversation rather than — at least what felt to me in other movies — a monologue. NUVO: How did you balance the professional look that comes with working with a crew with the kind of rough-and-ready, digital camerawork that’s associated with your past work, with all those tight shots of conversations in apartments?

SWANBERG: When the cinematographer Ben Richardson and I talked for the first time, I hadn’t seen Beasts of the Southern Wild yet [on which Richardson was Director of Photography]. Through the conversation, I could tell that he and I thought about filmmaking in the same way, that we had similar attitudes about light and the way we want things to look, which aspects of the image are important and which we’re happy to leave up to chance. The end result — any kind of additional slickness or feel of a more professional-looking movie — just comes out of a natural collaboration between Ben and I, not any kind of concerted effort on my part to make this one look better. But I think it looks beautiful; he’s really good at what he does, and certainly a better cinematographer than myself. The tradeoff is that when I shoot a movie by myself, with just a few people and the actors, which is a very different experience than spending 45 minutes lighting a scene and having a big camera crew around. I’m positive that I’ll still do $20,000 with just my friends, and I’ll probably continue to shoot those myself. And then I’ll do bigger films, and hopefully keep working with Ben as a cinematographer. NUVO: You’re known for having made a bunch of sexually explicit films, and Drinking Buddies doesn’t have any explicit sex scenes or even all that much sex. How do you make the decision of what to put on the screen in terms of sex and the body? SWANBERG: Early on I was really driven as a filmmaker to put realistic sex on screen just to question and challenge for myself why those things are cultural taboos. A lot of the filmmaking revolved around those chal-

lenges and questions to the audience: Why are we shocked by really normal behavior and why don’t we feel like we can put stuff in movies and talk about this stuff? I’ve just gotten less interested in it. After making a lot of movies about it and really focusing on it, I feel like I’ve explored it and sort of run out of questions to ask. NUVO: Did you find any interesting answers to those experiments? SWANBERG: Definitely! I made this trio about these questions — Silver Bullets, Art History and The Zone — and all three of these films are about filmmaking, and specifically about trying to stage sex scenes in movies. I learned that there is almost no way to separate your personal life from your professional life as an actor or director. You can to a certain degree sign up for a project, but I don’t think you can’t be yourself, I don’t think you can totally isolate your private relationships from this stuff; there’s always a little bit of bleedover. One thing I certainly learned is that audiences are not that interested in those envelopes being pushed, certainly not mainstream audiences; they’re not interested in having that conversation. NUVO: Because they’re squeamish or that conversation has already been had or... SWANBERG: I think it’s a lot of things. As we’ve gotten used to watching movies more and more at home and on our TVs and computers, I don’t feel people want

Here are our favorites from among all the feature film screeners we could get our hands on. If it’s not here, we either didn’t see it, didn’t like it all that much or it was a short film (because we never screen those). Reviews are by Nile Arena (NA) and Scott Shoger (SS).

Bending Steel w An assured, triumphant work following Chris “Wonder” Schoeck in the weeks leading up to his first public appearance as an old-fashioned strong man. True to its title, Schoeck literally bends steel with his bare hands. His journeys around the city as mild-mannered physical trainer are as compelling as his feats on strength. The vulnerability and soul of a latter-day Coney Island performer is beautifully rendered and proves to be an underdog story that inspires as oddly as it impresses. (NA)

Forced Confessions e Iran may have recently elected a moderate president, but this documentary makes the case that personal safety and free thinking will remain under threat as long as the Ayatollah remain in power. Director Maziar Bahari was one of many intellectuals and activists forced to confess, and he seeks out several others made to do the same, all of them in exile, of course, save for the film critic who committed suicide. Bahari traces out Ayatollah Khomeini’s use of media,from the newspaper (named “the universe”) that works hand in glove with interrogators to the use of televised confessions to scare the populace (SS)

to sit in a room with strangers and watch movies that have a lot of graphic sex. There’s a bit of squeamishness, and my feeling lately is that Hollywood filmmaking is 100 percent about filmmaking and probably always has been; maybe there was a window in the ‘70s where Hollywood audiences were going to see non-escapist movies. And it’s not just about realistic sex scenes — if you give them realistic relationship issues or realistic problems at work or realistic money issues, I think you turn off a good segment of the mainstream audience just going to movies to get away from their real life. That’ll continue to be the big challenge to me and other filmmakers: As a filmmaker who’s interested in confronting reality, how do I get the audience to be interested in confronting reality? NUVO: There are a bunch of Secretly (Label Group) bands on the soundtrack. SWANBERG: Chris Swanson, who runs Secretly Canadian, was the music supervisor. He sent me a ton of stuff — and I was already a huge fan of their music; I worked with the guys in Bishop Allen and they’re on Dead Oceans. Working with Chris was amazing; he just has such an encyclopedia knowledge of music, and I would drive down to Bloomington and he would play me records for four or five hours, and then he sent me a lot of Spotify playlists. I shot this little movie in December which he also was music supervisor on. He’s another guy I hope

Mr. Angel e He calls himself a man with a pussy and it takes balls to do that, says sex educator Tristan Taormino early in Mr. Angel, a documentary about porn star and sex activist Buck Angel, whose upper half is all male (shaved head, beard and plenty of muscle mass) — but who has chosen to keep the vagina which he was born with. What does that make Mr. Angel? All man, he tells those who would call him a sexual oddity (Tyra Banks). Dan Hunt manages to pack quite a bit into a little over an hour, interviewing immediate family members, including his wife, Elayne, who’s a pioneer in the world of piercing, and his parents, whose reactions range from guilt to acceptance. A nuanced portrait of an articulate and unconventional guy who has made his own path. (SS)

Coldwater r A troubled teen is sent to a remote juvenile detention facility run by a cruel military vet and his violent army of guards. Director Vincent Grashaw doesn’t waste an opportunity to showcase the bone-crunching havoc that occurs far from the prying eyes of the law (we are told at the film’s close there are no federal regulations on such institutions). James C. Burns gives an inspired performance as the tyrannical Colonel Reichert, chomping on an unlit cigar and relishing in the torment of the young offenders as the film spirals toward its brutal climax. The final moments of the film feel a little leaden, as if the filmmakers were unsure whom the audience should be left cheering for, if anyone. (NA)

Hey Bartender r We are told early on in the film that in the days before Prohibition bartenders were “the royalty of the working class.” The recent trend of mixology and trendy bars catering to inventive, fresh cocktails may restore some nobility to the profession. The fall and rise of the American cocktail is documented as restaurateurs, critics, brand ambassadors, and a cavalcade of bartenders share their passion for this uniquely American contribution to drinking. Between history lessons the film follows two men—one on his way up in the industry and the other trying to stay afloat—through their daily routines, philosophies, and the winding road that has driven them to a determined life in the service industry. (NA)

TINY: A Story About Living Small t With no experience in carpentry and nothing but YouTube instructional videos to guide him, Christopher Smith decides to build a small house (so small, in fact, that it can’t be legally termed a house) on a plot of land in Colorado. Along with his girlfriend Merete (the two share directing credits on the film) Christopher embarks on the project with nervous enthusiasm. The film becomes a video diary variation of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and the trials and tribulations of the project continually mount. One big caveat: The story’s not particularly urgent, and even as Christopher begins to sell his possessions to finance the tiny house, it’s is clear what is at stake if the project were abandoned. (NA)

super-helpful. Because it was improvised and because we were shooting in that space, I would just go and ask them: We have this scene in mind, and what might Jake be doing? They’d say, cleaning kegs or connecting this line here, or crushing up this coriander because were about to brew this wheat beer. The thing that they were afraid of is that we were looking for a very Hollywood, flashy version of what it’s like working in a brewery, where we were just shooting the stuff that was most exciting visually for camera. Instead if you look at the movie, most of what Jake is doing is just cleaning stuff, doing the grunt work.

to keep working with; he’s got a real good feel for the movies and what sort of stuff works. NUVO: You really capture the energy and behind-the-scenes mechanics of the craft beer movement. SWANBERG: When I’m not making movies, when I’m just at home in Chicago, that’s my scene; you would find me looking for which biergartens have what on tap, rare stuff that I wouldn’t be otherwise able to try. I’m also a homebrewer. The world of craft beer is really exciting to me; I think it’s the most exciting thing going on right now in America.

NUVO: And the characters seem pretty true to life — the outgoing PR person; the more reserved, maybe a little flaky, brewer; the scruffy dudes actually managing the day-in, day-out operations. SWANBERG: I worked very closely with the brewers while we were shooting to make sure everything that Jake was doing was realistic; same with Olivia and her character. I think they were a little suspicious of us at the beginning because they were at work; they make beer, they’ve been doing it for a long time, certainly longer than it’s been trendy. But after a day or two, they were great. All the guys who work at Revolution are in the movie, and they were

NUVO: There’s an awful lot of drinking in the movie — and even craft beer nuts can become alcoholics. SWANBERG: In terms of the production we didn’t drink that much beer, but when I put the movie together, I realized they were drinking the entire time. It was interesting to show it at SXSW and to have that conversation be a part of it — the idea of “boutique alcoholics” who are drinking good beer all the time and care about what they’re drinking, but at the same time are still drinking! It wasn’t a conscious thought point to the movie or something I was trying to tackle, but that’s one of the great things about making a movie. There are all the things that I’m interested in that I’m putting in there, and then there are all the other things that an audience picks up on.

NOW PLAYING Pacific Rim e Giant monsters vs. giant robots. From director Guillermo del Toro comes the most fun movie of the summer, a mega creature-feature pitting humanity against giant monsters from another dimension. Humanity responds to the invasion by creating giant robots – each manned by two psychically-lined pilots, to duke it out with all of Godzilla’s cousins. There’s enough of a story to make you care about the people in the Transformer-looking uber-suits, and a sense that something is actually at stake.

A Common Enemy w What happens after the revolution? That’s the question at hand in the excellent, many-sided documentary A Common Enemy, filmed during the leadup to the first elections in Tunisia following the ousting of longtime military dictator Ben Ali that kicked off the Arab Spring. On one side is Ennahda, a conservative Muslim party which advocates for hard work, family values, marriage for all who wish to marry — and leads a protest against the television broadcast of the animated film Persepolis because it featured (playful, cartoonish) representations of the prophet Mohammad. Toward the center is the PDP party, which seeks to ally Tunisia with Europe and whose membership includes outspoken feminists — who, at one point, confront an all-male Ennahda contingent. It won’t be giving much away to say that the film ends on a fascinating note, showing a female colleague kindly but confidently telling a male colleague that there will have to be room for more than one opinion, that even though he gets riled up he must allow for civil dialogue.

Blood Brother q The kind of movie that makes you wonder just what the hell you’re doing sitting there watching a movie. Twenty-something graphic designer Rocky Braat left his hometown of Pittsburgh for a sort of walkabout that included a stop at a home for HIV-infected orphans and women in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was to be a temporary volunteer gig, but after moving on to do a typical sightseeing trip, he decided that he needed to be in a place where he felt he could do the most good. He’s been working at the home — save for a few visa hiccups — ever since. His best friend in the States, who happens to be an excellent documentarian, made Blood Brother in order to understand why his friend created a new life for himself. The results couldn’t be much more profound, not least in the way that we see Rocky trying to figure out how he can best avoid what might be called compassion fatigue. While the kids have access to the kinds of HIV cocktails that have made the disease mostly manageable in the first world, they can suffer unpredictable, sometimes fatal side effects. His solution is to inextricably involve himself in Indian culture via marriage, though he doesn’t find it easy to convince his new neighbors that he’s not just a tourist trying to find himself. Winner of the 2013 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award.

Lad: A Yorkshire Story w It all starts from rocks. As this quite excellent and, dare we say, heartwarming film begins, we see the titlular Lad, Tom, breaking open some rocks on a Yorkshire hill, looking for fossils. It’s a primordial scene, and suggests a sort of return to the earth, to basic elements. And Tom’s going to have to somehow find his place in the natural order if he’s going to lift himself from the grief he’s going through after the loss of both the guys in his house — his dad and his brother. He gets some help from a stalwart role model, Al, a park service ranger with whom Tom has to work community service (we won’t give away the incident that earns Tom his sentence, but it shows that he has a sense of humor and is driven to stand up for his family). All of it is pretty typical comingof-age stuff, but the focus on the natural world gives what would’ve otherwise been a smart, indie film a sort of grounding and resonance — and the beautiful but unyielding landscapes make Lad a pleasure to watch, sometimes almost upstaging ordinary conversations.

Tales from the Organ Trade e Director David Cronenberg does his best imitation of the Frontline guy in narrating this fascinating, well-crafted, thought-provoking, well-funded documentary about the global organ trade. There’s a shortage of organs and a surplus of poor people in the world today, Cronenberg says before we meet the players: Those in the first world waiting for a kidney, those in the Philippines waiting to sell one of theirs off, a prosecutor trying to put together a case against a Kosovo clinic that dealt in black market kidneys — and the doctors that made quite a bit of money doing those transplants, but at the same time gave a new lease on life, as they say, to those first-worlders who made the trip over. The most striking images come from a rural Philippine town where many of the men sold off their kidney for less than $2,000. Advocates for the organized sale of organs aren’t given too much credit, but the doc does examine all sides of the issue — and raises questions about what makes one type of exploitation totally illegal and reprehensible, while another (say, working in dangerous factories to churn out other first-world goods) remains more or less acceptable.

Medora r With all respect to Medora executive producer Stanley Tucci, I’m not so sure this documentary, directed by the guys behind Found magazine (Davy Rothbart and Andrew Cohn) really “shows how America has cannibalized itself.” Because it takes it a little bit easy on America in order to, in part, fit the mold of a feel-good sports movie that shows a hapless team finally winning a game and hapless people turning around their lives. Medora is Medora, Ind., a small, white, impoverished town in south-central Carr County that still happens to have its own high school (most towns of its size have undergone the ravages of consolidation). Its basketball team is outmatched and awful (several winless seasons), and was the subject of a 2009 New York Times story, “In Rural Indiana Town, Even Basketball Suffers.” Rothbart and Cohn first gained the trust of townspeople in order to gain access to players and the school, and then the trust of players themselves, who open up about often difficult home lives and invite them to parties. The doc’s profiles are essential and sometimes surprising. And the basketball footage is goofy and heartwarming, but starts to drag when edited for dramatic, Hoosiers-in-contemporaryAmerica effect.

Persistence of Vision r It was to be animator Richard Williams’s masterpiece, created without compromise. And it turned into Arabian Knight, a sub-Aladdin family film produced by bond company stooges. Would Williams have finished The Prince and The Cobbler, his title for the animated feature which became Arabian Knight, if it hadn’t been taken out of hands after he went over budget? Or was the Canadian-born animator, who headed up a successful Londonbased animation house for 30-some years, incapable of completing his ever-changing masterwork, even as he knocked out superlative contract work for clients like Warner Bros. (as Oscar-winning animation director for Who Framed Roger Rabbit? ) and Jovan Sex Appeal (which got way more than it deserved in a 30-second oil painting of a commercial)? This documentary, created without Williams’s input — the still-working animator no longer talks about The Prince — tries to answer these counter-historical questions, drawing on extensive documentary footage of Williams’s house in the ‘70s and ‘80s and conducting a bunch of new interviews.

BEER BUZZ

BY RITA KOHN

Saison on tap at Microbrewers fest The 18th Annual Microbrewers Festival on July 20 (3-7 p.m.) will showcase over 300 craft beers from nationwide and Indiana breweries in Broad Ripple at OptiPark and grounds of the Indianapolis Art Center. The festival this year caps the first annual “Circle City Beer Week” featuring events all around greater Indianapolis. Find event updates and schedules on the Circle City Beer Week mobile application provided by Bento Mobility. Once again, the festival benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Indiana. Saison, French for “season,” is the ReplicAle specialty at this year’s Festival. ReplicAle — which challenges brewers to, as it sounds, replicate a given type of beer — is another way for Indiana’s craft brewers to bring individuality, versatility, craft, art and passion to a traditional style. The brewers at Flat 12 chose this pale ale as the challenge but did not provide a specific recipe because there isn’t one particular way to brew a Saison. Particularly refreshing during the heat of summer with a fruity, spicy profile and high carbonation, Saison is an eclectic, all-over-the place beer that originated in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium. Each farmhouse brewer created a personal version that over time became their specialty, and that’s what you’ll find annually in Indiana as each brewery rolls out its version. At the Festival ReplicAles are shared during special release times at a station on the Arts Center side. Spirited conversation is welcome as you taste and compare. Brewers Supply Group annually donates grain to the effort. The winners The Indiana State Fair Microbrewers Competition on July 13 attracted entries nationwide.

FRESH BERRIES IN THE COUNTY Pick your own at Michigan Road’s Driving Wind Blueberry Farm (but don’t dawdle) BY K A TY CA RTER EDITORS@NUVO.NET

ichigan Road’s parking lots, strip malls and heavy traffic can make any drive less than pastoral. Which is one reason it’s a surprise to notice, just north of 64th Street on the west side, a large field covered with bird netting bearing banners reading “Fresh Blueberries.” We’re used to a long drive past the ‘burbs to get to the nearest U-pick farms, after all. It was about five years ago that Joshua Welch, a preacher who grew up in Indianapolis but now lives in Russiaville, looked at a horse pasture owned by his father, John, and thought it’d be a great place to start a blueberry farm. “Let’s do something good with it, that’s unique to Indianapolis — because there’s no other blueberry farms in Indianapolis and Marion County, really,” he said to himself. “If you build it, they will come” — a variation on the whispered line from the movie Field of Dreams — ran through his head. And come they have. The Driving Wind Blueberry Farm — the name refers to the herd of driving horses that once called the field home — started with an ambitious 600 blueberry plants, with 800 more soon to follow. The grand total four years later is two acres of berries, with demand continuing to grow. The family had experience working outdoors — Joshua’s mother, Gloria, started a landscaping company called The Green Gang about 30 years ago when she began mowing the lawns of fellow churchgoers. The company is still going strong and occupies space next to the farm, providing conveniences like access to an irrigation pond and a sawmill to make frames for netting to keep away one of their toughest pest challenges — hungry city birds. As it turns out, growing blueberries in Indiana isn’t as simple as putting plants in the ground. “Everybody says, ‘I try to grow blueberry plants, I can’t grow them’ — and usually it’s because you try to plant them in Indiana soil and that’s not gonna work,” Joshua says. He went on to explain that blueberry plants require a specific acidity, so they bring in soil amendments by the semi truck. The right mixture of pine bark mulch and sphagnum peat moss gives the picky plants what they need. An organic fertilizer is then used each season to keep the pH of the soil where it needs to be. One appealing feature of Driving Wind blueberries is that the plants aren’t sprayed at present with pesticides or other chemicals, though surrounding weeds are sprayed at the ground level once each spring. But Joshua admits that while they don’t cur-

rently rely on chemicals for pest management, that might not always be the case — the Japanese beetle is always a challenge, but this year there’s been a new variety of fruit fly that can wreak havoc on the crops. “I know another couple of blueberry farms that usually don’t spray their berries have been forced to have to do it this year,” so he’s taking a wait-and-see approach. Plans are afoot to introduce U-pick kiwi and goji berries (both crops are a year or two away from maturity), and you can now purchase local honey, frozen persimmon

pulp, and blueberry Honey Graham ice cream at the farm shop. Because the farm grows six different varieties of berries, the season can run from four to six weeks during a good year. And since the weather this year has been nearideal (a snowy winter, a bit cooler and wetter summer), there are still a few days of picking left if you can clear a morning of an hour or so. Or mark your calendar for next summer — you can follow news of the farm on Facebook, getting updates on picking days (they are limited) and specials.

THE BREEDERS TO PLAY PITCHFORK Sometime this March, when I was seeing a show at the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky, I heard something familiar while standing out in the parking lot. There was a quick slide into a pingy false-start bass line; a high, noodling guitar lead; and an unmistakably lilting vocal melody: someone was covering “Cannonball” by The Breeders. After “Cannonball,” they went in to “Safari,” and after that I swear I heard the fuzzy, pounding climax of “New Year.” I asked my friend, “Where do you even find a Breeders cover band this good?” When I got the chance to speak with Josephine Wiggs, the bassist for The Breeders, I asked her about it — I knew the band was scheduled to play that venue at the end of March as a kick-off for the 20 — year anniversary tour for their 1993 album Last Splash. “We had been rehearsing in Kim [Deal’s] basement in Dayton for like four months. But we felt like we needed to get out of the basement and go somewhere that we could work with a PA.” So, I guess it wasn’t a cover band after all. The last Breeders album, Mountain Battles, came out only about five years back, but save for a brief stint in 2005, it’s been over a decade since Wiggs played with the band. “Some songs were trickier to re-learn, just because the muscle memory wasn’t there. But most of them came back extremely easily and quickly, just because of having played them so many times, it’s really kind of engrained in to your soul.” Except for sitting down to rehearse, Wiggs says that she mostly hasn’t listened to Last Splash over the years. “I can’t listen to things immediately after having finished because I’m always a perfectionist.” Even so, over the years she’s heard songs here and there, and oddly, she felt like she was hearing old songs more and more in the last year or so. “I was in a store in my neighborhood and like ‘Invisible Man’ came on and then a week later I got the call from Kim, and I thought ‘Wow this is kind of bizarre.’ There must have been something in the air.” — TAYLOR PETERS

The remainder of our interview with Wiggs is available on NUVO.net. The Breeders will play at Pitchfork Music Fest in Chicago this weekend.

or obsessive music fans like us, festivals are the highlight of the summer. But too often we forget the ghastly toll they take on the environment. From the massive energy expenditures used to power the stages to the mounds of trash that litter fields and parks after the crowds are gone, music festivals can be a mini eco nightmare. Luckily, regional organizers are taking conscientious steps to change the environmental impact of these events. From Warm Fest in Indianapolis to Chicago’s Pitchfork, these organizers want to stay on good terms with Mother Nature. The 11th anniversary of Forecastle Festival drew approximately 75,000 patrons to the Louisville Waterfront for headliners like The Black Keys and The Avett Brothers. “For years, Forecastle has required all vendors and sponsors to use only biodegradable supplies: cups, plates, utensils, etc. These are all composted along with food waste and other suitable materials,” Holly Weyler, a representative of the festival, said in a press release. This year, organizers brought a recycling program by a company called Clean Vibes to manage this process and staff the waste stations while educating attendees. In 2011, Forecastle launched the Forecastle Foundation, a non-profit working to preserve the world’s remaining hotspots — areas that occupy just 2.3 percent of the Earth’s surface but contain more than 70 percent of the plant and animal species found on the planet. Their mission is to “preserve the world’s natural awesome,” and their goal is to fund and implement 12 projects around the globe, which conserve and protect these areas. Pitchfork’s esoteric batch of headliners

(including R. Kelly, Björk, and Belle and Sebastian) is nothing compared to their thoughtful eco expansion. The festival plans to expand their recycling operations by using power from generators powered by biodiesel fuel, which pollutes less than normal diesel fuel and reduces reliance on foreign oil supplies. Benjamin Mjolsness, the Sustainability Coordinator at Pitchfork Festival, said they realized there was more that should be done to reduce the environmental impact of such a large gathering of people coming in from all over the city, the country — even from overseas. “We formed a partnership with Zipcar to provide us with hybrid electric cars to help us run for supplies, pick up and drop off artists, and whatever else we need to drive for to keep the festival humming along,” Mjolsness said. “We also have a huge, free bike parking lot every year, and we encourage folks to walk, bike or use public transportation to get to the festival.” This year, Pitchfork is expanding their education and communication with food vendors to increase the amount of food waste they put into composting. “We are working with our waste and recycling company to pilot the use of a trash compactor on-site to help us better monitor what is actually going into the landfill and keep recyclables out,” Mjolsness said. “In addition, compacting the waste will reduce the number of garbage truck trips and gasoline use by three to four times.” Pitchfork teamed up with Global Inheritance, a group debuting a new recycling store to save recyclables from landfills at the fest. “We’re excited to work with these guys, and expect a lot of fun and success with this new partnership,” Mjolsness said. “We all love good music and we care about our community.” Lollapalooza, Chicago’s sprawling, legendary outdoor fest strives to minimize its

Regional fests start to make eco-friendly changes in 2013 environmental impact and is continuously planned through an aggressively “green” lens. While mega-watt headliners like The Cure, Mumford & Sons, Nine Inch Nails and Phoenix are performing, the festival’s Green Street will allow patrons to take a stroll through the area for some ecofriendly shopping, farm-to-festival bites and eco cause booths. Over the past six years, C3 Presents (which helps put Lolla together) has worked with Green Mountain Energy to track and offset Lollapalooza’s carbon footprint. By offsetting the CO2 emissions created by the event, they’ve prevented approximately 14.2 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to taking over 1,300 cars off the road for one year. “A biodiesel mix is used in all generators, high-efficiency lighting is used as much as possible, and waste diversion is aggressively practiced both backstage and front-ofhouse with a team of hired professionals,” Brittany Pearce, Lollapalooza’s publicist for green initiatives, said in a press release. “Over 200 volunteers per day are dedicated to greening initiatives.” In addition to offsetting Lollapalooza’s electricity use, the festival will be using bio-diesel as its primary fuel for generators at the 2013 festival, directly reducing the festival’s carbon footprint. By having attendees tread lightly to Lollapalooza, they can balance out 220 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions associated with travel to the festival. That’s as much CO2 as 20 young trees can absorb in one year. In addition, Compass Green will provide workshops at the south end of Green Street each day of Lollapalooza at 1 p.m. Workshops are provided by Lollapalooza and the funding will provide urban gardening education programs to at-risk students in low-income schools.

“I yearn for simplicity, but I fear that it will forever elude me.” So says Michael Gira, frontman of Swans, founder of Young God records and generally intimidating guy. Last year, Swans released The Seer, just under two hours of rapturously brutal post-punk. It was their second full-length since reuniting on 2010’s My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky . Gira formed the band in 1982. The Seer’s title track alone is 30 minutes of thunderous drums, thick drone and layered vocal chants. Lately, the bands’ live shows have stretched to as long as three hours. “That has happened, though we’ve curtailed it a bit. Just a concern about not being able to get through tours… We’re finding that three hours a night is almost impossible, and certainly impossible for my voice.” Gira says that length like this, either live or on record, is not the specific intention. “Sometimes I go in and I know that something has a lot of uncertainty about it, and I kind of just fight for my life in the studio and eventually it takes on a shape that seems convincing.” Asked if he thinks it’s possible to truly finish a song, he explains, “I used to think about things that way of course. But I’ve realized over the last three or four years with this chapter of Swans that nothing is ever finished.” Though the collaborative element is never quite over, songwriting begins as a solitary practice for him. “[The songs] always start out with me playing acoustic guitar here in my office,” he says. From there the music can unfurl in almost any direction. “By the time we play a song live, it continues to morph and change, and sometimes it barely resembles the version that we recorded. I don’t look at it as ever being done.” Work like this generates new material quickly. “We already have more than enough material for the next album. We’re just trying not to be redundant or boring.” Their current set is “entirely new material” aside from a now 45-minute-long version of “The Seer,” and “Coward” from 1986’s Holy Money. “Coward,” of course, is “totally different from the recorded version.” In order to document this morphing process, Gira often records Swans’ sets, and he frequently releases these recordings as live albums. “It’s interesting, we’ve been recording most of the shows on this last bit of the tour, and I could probably release just an

album of versions of one song and it would still be sufficiently different to justify being on one album.” Gira’s also very frank about the monetary benefits of live albums, with their lower production costs and often handmade packaging. The band’s most recent live recording, 2012’s We Rose From Your Bed With the Sun in Our Head, was explicitly created in order to fund costs for The Seer. “Because we don’t record at home with Pro Tools, it can be kind of expensive the way we work,” Gira says. “Where commerce meets creativity can often be propitious.” This is especially the case, because of how Gira tends to work in the studio. “The studio, to me, is a place where it’s more like building a house. Although if I were to really build a house using the aesthetic that I use in the studio, it would really kind of be a house of cards.” Simplicity, as he says, constantly slips away. “I have a tremendous shortcoming in that when I am in the studio, more is better.“ Of course, “more is better” can be tough to translate in a controlled environment. “Live, there’s something to do with the sound pressure and the harmonics and the overtones that occur when there’s loud guitars and a good-sounding room,” Gira says. “It can be really elevating and ecstatic, but then you go in to the studio and it’s like you have boxing gloves on your ears.” After thirty years, he’s still learning how to capture that feeling. He’s developed a few tricks, though. “Usually, one thing I’ll try to do to replicate [the live sound] through other means is [that] I’ll sing in the background, even though you can’t really hear it. Or, I’ll have someone else sing the root notes or some harmony that mixes in with the guitars and kind of adds that resonance that’s really hard to achieve in the studio.” He’s not interested, however, in trying to pin down the music. “I’m not an intellectual, it’s more I just follow what feels right.” And for him it feels most right when everything seems to act under its own power. “It just keeps growing and shifting. It’s like being inside this wave and following it rather than the other way around.”

GUTHRIE, STEINBECK, MARTIN, ZIMMERMAN

feel a strong sense of sadness and discouragement today as I sit to write this column. News of the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case has just reached me. As you’ve undoubtedly heard, George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the cold-blooded murder of the innocent 17-year-old. I had been planning to write a piece this week in honor of Woody Guthrie, as July 14 marked the 101st anniversary of the legendary singer-songwriter’s birth. I particularly wanted to spotlight Guthrie’s 1940 masterpiece Dust Bowl Ballads, a collection of songs chronicling the devastating dust storms that ravaged the Great Plains during the economic depression of the 1930s. I’d hoped to draw attention to the suffering of the Oklahoma migrant workers Guthrie immortalized in song and discuss how their struggles paralleled with those of modern day undocumented immigrants. But as I sit, attempting to compose this article, thoughts of Trayvon keep flooding through my mind and it seems unthinkable not to acknowledge the tremendous injustice of this verdict. While race has rightfully been a dominating theme in the public discussion of this tragedy, there’s an equally important element that has not received proper attention in the mainstream dialogue: the issue of class. The justification for Trayvon Martin’s murder has been carried out in deference to the interests of America’s wealthy ruling class. His murderer was acquitted by a justice system that operates primarily in service of that same ruling class. Racism was undoubtedly a factor in this tragic episode, but racism is merely an ideological device the ruling class uses to divide and disenfranchise the poor and working class. Until we come to terms with that idea, our conversations on race will simply be a diversion from the worldwide struggle for equality, justice and peace. And that point brings me back to Woody Guthrie and his brilliant Dust Bowl Ballads, which uses the issue of class dynamics as a central theme. To fully appreciate Dust Bowl Ballads, a basic familiarity with John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath is helpful since, in many ways, the album functions as a musical companion to Steinbeck’s classic. Characters from the novel drift in and out of song lyrics, while tracks like “Tom Joad” and “Talking Dust Bowl Blues” offer literal summaries of key plot points and concepts. Guthrie and Steinbeck were well acquainted (the author even asked Guthrie to serve as unofficial music advisor for the novel’s film adaptation). Like Steinbeck, Guthrie analyzed the oppressive tactics used by banks and industrial farming companies to exploit migrant workers. In his great ballad “Pretty Boy Floyd,” Guthrie famously contrasted acts of corporate crime with the infamous cop-killing bank robber – and ultimately siding with the outlaw Floyd. In his words, “As through this world I’ve wandered I’ve seen lots of funny men; some will rob you with a sixgun, and some with a fountain pen. But as through your life you travel and as through your life you roam, you’ll never see an outlaw drive a family from their home.”

A CULTURAL MANIFESTO WITH KYLE LONG KLONG@NUVO.NET Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.

When considering George Zimmerman, Guthrie’s “Vigilante Man”comes to my mind. Guthrie’s song examines the corporate-sponsored vigilante squads of the era, employed to protect the ruling class from the righteous fury of the starving masses. Their primary function was to threaten and eliminate would-be union organizers. But they had a fierce reputation for dishing out indiscriminate acts of violence, operating with impunity as self-appointed police. “Why does that vigilante man carry a sawed-off shotgun in his hand? Would he shoot his brother and sister down?” Guthrie asks in the song’s haunting call and response refrain. Both of the aforementioned songs indirectly ask an important question. It’s a question Steinbeck explored in his novel and it’s a question that’s central to the Zimmerman verdict. When is it morally justified to act outside the boundaries of the law? In the case of George Zimmerman it’s clear that a faction of Americans have deemed violent vigilante justice acceptable if there’s a suspected threat to private property. But that same faction of Americans remains unequivocally opposed to the undocumented immigrant’s peaceful – but unlawful – pursuit of work. This division represents an alarming indication that the compass of law is permanently pointed in favor of the capitalist ruling class, no matter what direction we’re heading morally. > > Kyle Long creates a custom podcast for each column.

It’s when he took a big chance — despite a crumbling economy and tough job market then, Wells decided to leave his job and follow his dream to become a musician. Two full-length albums later, Wells seems to be quite all right. Below, an excerpt from our chat with Wells (which is available in full on NUVO.net).

NUVO: You mentioned that on Inside that you wanted more of an emotional appeal. It seems like you consistently mention emotional obstacles and overcoming them throughout the album. Do you think that, or anything else in particular, reveals a theme for the album? WELLS: The song “Inside” is about

struggling with something. For me, it was my dad passing away. At that time, it was about a lot of heartache

and a lot of grief. There’s quite a few songs on there that deal with emotional things that I’ve worked through. That’s kind of why I named it Inside. I gave it the title track because a lot of the songs [were] me looking at my own self and life and my own emotions.

NUVO: Tell us about “There’s No Easy Way” instrumental significance. WELLS: My daughter played piano

on it and my 12-year-old son played the bass guitar for it. It’s just piano and bass, and I sing. The story behind the song is talking about losing somebody that is really close to you, which in my case was my father. I tried to write it in a way that wasn’t too specific to me and that other people could relate to it. It was really cool to have my daughter and son play on it. It’s cool anyway but especially for that song. It’s about their grandpa. It was really cool for them to be able to do that. I usually don’t play it, but I had people at shows request it. People tearing up. That really means a whole lot, touching people that way. — JIM EASTERHOUSE The Vogue, 6259 N. College Ave. 8 p.m., $5, 21+

try to sound like Ian Anderson. And then the subtext is, “Not while he’s still alive, because you’re just going to get compared endlessly,” to me which isn’t going to be very enjoyable. I guess you would have to find your own approach, your own style, your own way of making that a contribution. But since there aren’t very many flute players in the world of rock music, it’s probably not a good choice to take up the flute anyway. You might be better off sticking with a guitar or maybe it’s time for a revival. There hasn’t been a wiz kid Hammond organist for a long time. If I was going to suggest to any young man taking up rock music, if you want to make a little name for yourself instrumentally, become a great Hammond organ player, with a Hammond organ and a Leslie cabinet. Probably not really since Keith Anderson has their been someone as a keyboard player who has been the main musical focus of the band. Maybe it’s time for another keyboard player, definitely not playing noodle-y electronic instruments and samplers. Somebody playing a real keyboard, either a piano or a Hammond organ. Time to hear that one again I think.” Anderson will perform Thick as a Brick I (1972) and II (2012). Find the rest of our chat with the Jethro Tull frontman online at NUVO.net.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY © 2013 BY ROB BRESZNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The 19th-century Italian composer Gioachino Rossini was a prolific creator who produced 39 operas. Renowned for his lyrical melodies, he was sometimes referred to as the “Italian Mozart.” So confident was he in his abilities that he bragged he could set a laundry list to music. I trust you will have comparable aplomb in the coming weeks, Aries, since you will be asked to do the equivalent of composing an opera using a laundry list for inspiration. This will be a different challenge than making lemonade out of lemons, but it could be even more fun and interesting. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? Or is its more vivid hue just an optical illusion caused by your inability to see the situation objectively? Judging from my analysis of your current astrological omens, I suspect that you’re not deluded. The grass really is greener. But it’s important to note the reason why this is true, which is that there’s more manure over on the other side of the fence. So your next question becomes: Are you willing to put up with more crap in order to get the benefits of the greener grass? GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You know the voice in your head that’s kind of a sneaky bastard? The voice that sometimes feeds you questionable advice and unreliable theories? Well, I suspect that this voice might be extra active in the coming week. But here’s the weird thing: It might actually have a sound idea or two for you to consider acting on. For once, its counsel may be based on accurate intuition. So don’t completely lower your guard, Gemini. Maintain a high degree of discernment towards the sneaky bastard’s pronouncements. But also be willing to consider the possibility that this generator of so much mischief could at least temporarily be a source of wisdom. CANCER (June 21-July 22): We keep million-dollar works of art in well-guarded museums. Paintings created hundreds of years ago are treated with reverence and protected as if they were magical treasures. Meanwhile, beautiful creatures that took nature eons to produce don’t get the same care. At least 5,000 animal and plant species are going extinct every year, in large part due to human activities. Among the recently lost works of art are the Madeiran Large White butterfly, West African black rhinoceros, Formosan clouded leopard, golden toad, and Tecopa pupfish. I’m asking you not to allow a similar discrepancy in your own life, Cancerian. The astrological omens say that now is a perfect moment to intensify your love for the natural world. I urge you to meditate on how crucial it is to nurture your interconnectedness with all of life, not just the civilized part. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hurry up, please. It’s time. No more waffling or procrastinating. You really need to finish up the old business that has dragged on too long. You really should come to definitive decisions about ambiguous situations, even if they show no sign of resolution. As for those nagging questions that have yielded no useful answers: I suggest you replace them with different questions. And how about those connections that have been draining your energy? Re-evaluate whether they are worth trying to fix. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “This morning I walked to the place where the street-cleaners dump the rubbish,” wrote painter Vincent van Gogh in one his letters. “My God, it was beautiful.” Was he being ironic or sarcastic? Not at all. He was sincere. As an artist, he had trained himself to be intrigued by scenes that other people dismissed as ugly or irrelevant. His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could find meaning and even enchantment anywhere. Your next assignment, Virgo -- should you choose to accept it -- is to experiment with seeing the world as van Gogh did.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I believe you will undergo a kind of graduation in the next four weeks, Libra. Graduation from what? Maybe from a life lesson you’ve been studying for a while or from an institution that has given you all it can. Perhaps you will climax your involvement with a situation that has made big demands on you. I suspect that during this time of completion you will have major mixed feelings, ranging from sadness that a chapter of your story is coming to an end to profound gratification at how much you have grown during this chapter. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What’s your favorite sin, Scorpio? I’m talking about the mischievous vice or rebel tendency or excessive behavior that has taught you a lot. It may be the case that now and then this transgressive departure from normalcy has had redeeming value, and has even generated some interesting fun. Perhaps it puts you in touch with a magic that generates important changes, even if it also exacts a toll on you. Whatever your “favorite sin” is, I’m guessing that you need to develop a more conscious and mature relationship with it. The time has come for it to evolve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Sagittarian writer and artist William Blake (1757-1827) made drawings of many eminent people who had died before he was born. Julius Caesar was the subject of one of his portraits. Others included Dante, Shakespeare, and Moses. How did Blake manage to capture their likenesses in such great detail? He said their spirits visited him in the form of apparitions. Really? I suppose that’s possible. But it’s also important to note that he had a robust and exquisite imagination. I suspect that in the coming weeks you, too, will have an exceptional ability to visualize things in your mind’s eye. Maybe not with the gaudy skill of Blake, but potent nevertheless. What would be the best use of this magic power? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How close do you really want to be to the people you care about? I invite you to think about this with unsentimental candor. Do you prefer there to be some distance between you? Are you secretly glad there’s a buffer zone that prevents you from being too profoundly engaged? I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It might be correct for who you are right now. I merely want to suggest that it’s important for you to know the exact nature of your need for intimacy. If you find that you actually do want to be closer, spend the next four weeks making that happen. Ask your precious allies to collaborate with you in going deeper. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I love your big, energetic thoughts. I enjoy watching as your wild intuitive leaps lead you to understandings that mere logic could never produce. I have benefited many times from the Aquarian tribe’s ability to see angles no one else can discern. In the immediate future, though, I hope you will be a specialist in analyzing the details and mastering mundane mysteries. I’ll be rooting for you to think small and be precise. Can you manage that? I expect there’ll be a sweet reward. You will generate good fortune for yourself by being practical, sensible, and earthy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is it a river or a creek? Is it a mountain or a hill? It’s important for you to decide questions like these -- preferably on the basis of the actual evidence rather than on wishful thinking. I’m not saying that the river is better than the creek or that the mountain is better than the hill. I simply want you to know that it’s important to be clear about which it is. The same principle applies to other experiences you’ll soon have. Is the catalytic person you’re dealing with a temporary friend or a loyal ally? Is the creation you’re nurturing just a healthy diversion or is it potentially a pivotal element in transforming your relationship with yourself? Is the love that’s blooming a transient pleasure or a powerful upgrade that’s worth working on with all your ingenuity?
