Viewers at a community screening in Berlin that was also the European premiere, sponsored by Veganz vegan supermarket

Throughout the fall, vegucators all over the world wanted to know, “when is the film premiering in my town?” Because of our limited budgets and bodies, the answer was often, “when you bring it to your town!  Sign up to host a screening in 2012 and be part of our Community Screenings Campaign!”

And sign up they did. There were 12 people/organizations who bought licenses for January screenings. When we heard that the first two were scheduled for January, 15^th in Albuquerque and Brooklyn, filmmakers and community screening organizers alike kept fingers crossed. Would people come? To everybody’s delight, come they did. From day one, the campaign launch has proven to be extremely successful, not just in the U.S. but also in Canada and Germany.

In Albuquerque, Brooklyn, Tulsa, Tempe, Sacramento, Vancouver and Berlin, the film was screened to a full house. In fact, after turning people away in Albuquerque and Berlin, the organizers saw the demand and decided to organize additional screenings after the original premiere. The pairing of food and film proved to be particularly successful.

Movie goers in Berlin enjoyed food provided by Veganz, the only full-range vegan supermarket in Europe and the organizer of our European premiere.

And this is only the beginning of World Vegucation! We have a dozen more community screenings on the calendar from Leesburg, Virginia to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Within a month of being released digitally, Vegucated topped the charts on iTunes and Amazon, becoming a bestseller on both digital platforms!

On January 13th, writer-director Marisa Miller Wolfson was interviewed on Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell on HLN, and the televised chat between the two vegan ladies inspired hundreds of people to check out the movie.

The theme of the 2012 Festival is “the relationship between the environment and human health,” and the films will inspire viewers to “look toward solutions to ensure a healthy population and environment with the understanding that whatever we do to the environment, we do to ourselves.” Amen to that!

Founded in 2003, the Artivist Film Festival is the only festival dedicated to raising awareness for international human rights, children’s advocacy, environmental preservation, and the humane treatment of animals through international narrative and documentary films.

We hope you’ll join us Thursday, January 26th at 6 p.m. at the Miller Theatre at Columbia University for an evening of animal advocacy films, including our feature plus shorts Farm to Fridge and Together: Dancing with Spinner Dolphins.

The films will be followed by a spirited panel discussion with moderator Mariann Sullivan of Our Hen House and professor of animal law at Columbia Law School, plus Vegucated film subjects Ellen and Tesla, writer-director Marisa Miller Wolfson, executive producer Mary Max, Matt Rice from Mercy for Animals, Patrick Kwan from the Humane Society of the United States, and Amanda Schinke of PETA.

We’ll be there along with film subjects Ellen and Tesla and look forward to connecting with you.

The Miller Theatre is located at 2960 Broadway at 116th St.

Limited free tickets still available — Reserve Yours Now! And RSVP to our Facebook invite and help spread the word!
