NEPADOC is a feature-length documentary about intersections of environment, industry, and identity in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past 300 years. Inspired by non-verbal documentary film landmarks such as “Koyaanisqatsi” and “Baraka,” NEPADOC blends 4K cinematography, local historical footage, and a sweeping score into a dizzying and contemplative meditation on culture, place, and public memory. Part documentary and part experimental film, NEPADOC will challenge the way that you think about the relationships between history, geography, and art.

This premiere screening is being arranged in conjunction with The Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (www.epcamr.org), whose work is featured in a portion of the film. Donations will be accepted at the event for EPCAMR, and their director, Bobby Hughes, will take part in an audience Q&A with some of the filmmakers afterwards. All proceeds from the evening will be donated to EPCAMR’s continued environmental and educational efforts in the region.
