On April 20, 2010, the Macondo oil well under BP’s Deepwater Horizon platform began to gush oil, in what has come to be known as the biggest oil spill disaster in US history. Some five million barrels of oil had leaked from the well before it was successfully capped on September 19, 2010.<\/p>\n
Yet, the story of the Deepwater Horizon spill has almost disappeared from the news landscape. For all practical purposes, the spill might as well not have happened. What are likely to be the mid-term and long-term effects of the Gulf oil spill? This is the question being put to the symposium participants.<\/p>\n

\n“The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “fracking” or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a “Saudia Arabia of natural gas” just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.” <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Thursday, April 21, 2011 \/ Special Presentation<\/div>\n7:45 – 9:30: Film – Cinemathique Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Crude\u00a0 (2009, Joe Berliner, U.S.A., 105 minutes, documentary)<\/strong>
\nOne of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet.
