Sprinkle and Stephens enlist artists, elders, witches and neighbors to confront the climate crisis, culminating in a ceremonial Wedding to Fire in the redwoods, with a white peacock named Albert narrating part of it. Both shows open with their live 'Ecosex 101' act, and the first adds a Q&A plus a lobby reception with birthday cake for two Club 90 co-founders. If you want the weekend's most joyfully unusual screening, this is it.
What to expect
A ten-minute performance by the filmmakers, the 71-minute film, then a discussion: Barbara Carellas moderates the first show and Angelo Madsen the second. Anthology encourages dressing up in fire and ecosex themes.
