Movies on a Big Screen

Movies on a Big Screen Movies on a Big Screen is an ongoing film festival/microcinema that started in September of 2006 in Sacramento, CA.

We show independent films, documentaries, shorts, host community based special events and on occasion have late night audience participation screenings. Many screenings have had filmmakers and guest speakers in attendance for Q&A. We do digital projection onto a large screen (not a big screen TV). We don’t give out awards in the "traditional" festival sense, but any filmmaker in attendance is welcome to one free can of Pabst (by request).

Today We Saw the Face of God

In January of 2010, a team of 23 volunteers set off on what should have been an ordinary medical mission in Haiti. They had no way of knowing the devastation that would inevitably come. On the final evening of the mission, the team treated their last patient, gathered their supplies and set off towards their sleeping quarters. As they arrived, they felt a jolt of panic as the world began to shake and tremble violently beneath them. Within hours, the entire team was unexpectedly thrust into the center of one of the worst natural disasters in modern history.

The documentary film, Today We Saw the Face of God transcends viewers from their comfortable homes into the poverty-stricken world that Haitians navigate daily. As the team journeys back, they recount the harrowing reality of being first responders in an unprecedented medical crisis, the impact the experience has had on their lives and what it means to return to Haiti, one year after the catastrophic earthquake.

A surprisingly hopeful look into a tragedy that shook the world, Today We Saw the Face of God is a true testament to the power of human connection in the face of unimaginable suffering

There's Brian, the bacon-loving bachelor who eats out all the time, Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on their plates. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.

But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets?

Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.
