Just an update for all you local people with no jobs or plenty of free time on Friday morning. The Owning the Weather movie (starring me as one of the bad guys) will be shown around 10:15 am at the Durham Convention Center (Durham has a convention center? Maybe I misread it and it's detention center) in beautiful downtown Durham as part of the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The official schedule lists another 26-minute film about Romanian shepherds ahead of it, so it may start around 11.

Assuming I survive, a complete report including pictures this weekend. So be there or accept my version. Owning The Weather New Docs Running Time: 92 minutes Screening Info: Friday, April 3 10:15AM Cinema Three Director(s): Robert Greene Producer(s): Douglas Tirola, Robert Greene, Susan Bedusa Editor(s): Robert Greene Cinematographer(s): Robert Greene Release Year: 2009 Country: USA World Premiere From Machiasport, Maine, to Palo Alto, California, people are talking about the weather. But can they do anything about it? This poetic, ironic, and beautifully shot film answers that question by juxtaposing interviews with weather scientists and lay obsessives—including climate scientists, television meteorologists, air-conditioning technicians, and Weather Channel junkies—with evocative images that subtly comment on the way humans interact with their environments. Moving us deftly through an ominous exposé of failed experiments, and treating us to breathtaking encounters with sublime forces of nature, director Robert Greene examines the checkered history of weather modification schemes and their implications for climate change. This compelling study of science, nature, ingenuity, and eccentricity unfolds—accompanied by an arch and oddly nostalgic sci-fi score—as a stark meditation on, and cautionary tale about, our all too human need to control.
