“THIS WAY OF LIFE”: Shortlisted for the 2011 Academy Awards in documentary filmmaking, “This Way of Life” closes the Princeton Environmental Film Festival on Sunday, January 23 at 4:30 p.m. Festival Founder and Librarian Susan Conlon said that the film inspires reflection on “our relationship with how we live and how we treat the earth.” The festival is free and open to the public and begins on Thursday, January 13.

Poised to inspire, the Princeton Environmental Film Festival kicks off its 11-day run this Thursday, January 13, at 4:30 with Living Downstream, an account of the relationship between environmental toxins and the body told through one woman’s struggle with cancer and her corresponding scientific investigation.
“Nurturing the Nurturers,” a day-long free event scheduled for Saturday, January 15, at the Princeton YWCA, is being described in many ways by its several sponsors.
Calling it “a first-rate ethnography and history,” the American Journal of Sociology’s review of the late Suzanne Keller’s final book, Community: Pursuing the Dream, Living the Reality described it as “a rich discussion of the literature of community, ranging from Plato to modern cyberspace.” Ms. Keller died last month at the age of 83.
