Gas Documentary @ Theater

When filmmaker Josh Fox received an unexpected offer of $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property in the Delaware River Basin on the border of New York and Pennsylvania, he resisted the urge to accept.  Instead, he set off on a cross-country journey to investigate the risks of agreeing to this deal.

That journey is explained in Gasland, a documentary film that will be shown Wednesday at the Hamilton Theater. The limited showing is at 7 p.m. and is followed by a special Twitter conversation with the filmmaker.

Gasland is described by its director as "... part verité travelogue, part exposé, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown and part showdown." It premiered on HBO in June 2010.

The film is directed by Fox; produced by Trish Adlesic; Fox and Molly Gandour; and was edited by Matthew Sanchez.

For details and advance tickets call the theater at 824-8210.
