EREN by SIMON P. CLARK
People are keeping secrets from Oli - about where his father is, and why he hasn't come to join them at his uncle's house in the country.
But Oli has secrets too.
He knows what lives in the attic. Eren - part monster, part dream, part myth. Eren who always seems so interested, who always wants to hear more about Oli's life. Eren, who needs to hear stories to live, and will take them from Oli, no matter the cost.

2012 ZINE FAIR COMMING SEPTEMBER

SCINEMA FILMS SCREENING HERE NEXT WEEK

SCINEMA SCIENCE FILMS

SCINEMA SCIENCE FILMS will be screened in the Manly Library Meeteing Room.
3 Films addressing issues of climate change in Australia.
SCREENING TIMES:
TUESDAY 14th August, 2-4pm
WEDNESDAY 15th August, 2-4pm
FRIDAY 17th August, 12-2pm


(all 3 movies will be shown at each screening)


The Hungry Tide Australia D:Tom Zyricki 53min
The Pacific nation of Kiribati is on the front line of climate change. Sea level rise is threatening the lives of 105,000 people in this vulnerable and forgotten corner of the Pacific. Maria Tiimon, a Kiribati woman living in Sydney, has been given the task of alerting the world to her sinking homeland. The film follows Maria from a small Sydney high school to the world stage. Shy at first, we watch her grow in confidence as she takes her country's message to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, and a year later to Cancun. Copenhagen ends in failure, and evidence emerges of Australia's' complicity in silencing Pacific nations. Back in Sydney Maria receives troubling news. Via the crackly CB radio link to her home island she finds out that her beloved father is very ill. She must return home immediately. Meanwhile in Kiribati storm tides are sweeping into villages and fragile sea walls are crumbling. The urbane President Anote Tong, acutely aware of these problems, says his government lacks the resources to fix them. The eventual relocation of his people is inevitable, he believes: "we have to assume the worst".          


The Inertia Trap Australia D: Katherine Kelly 0:45:00
Internationally renowned climate scientists give a clear and easy to understand explanation of the changes happening in the world’s oceans. The scientists contributing to the film are Professor James Hansen, Professor David Karoly, Professor Will Steffen, Dr John Church, Dr Susan Wijffels, Dr Steve Rintoul, Dr Bronte Tilbrook, Dr Tessa Vance, Dr Andrew Lenton and Dr Alistair Hobday. They talk about the ocean warming at its surface and in its depths, changes in salinity and the knock-on effects that those salinity changes may have on the global overturning circulation. Northern Europe, the UK and Eastern Canada could become colder rather than warmer if the overturning circulation were to slow, even while temperatures elsewhere continue to rise.Changes to ocean acidity affecting corals and marine creatures with shells or skeletons, melting of glaciers, sea ice and the ice sheets are all discussed and the likely impacts of these changes explained. The serious threats from feed back effects are also discussed. The urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is clear.       


The Great Sothern Ocean Australia D: Craig Macauley 0:15:00
CSIRO scientist Dr Steve Rintoul talks about his work documenting the changes occuring to the Great Southern Ocean
