Arts & Culture
This area has been known for decades for its thriving creative music scene. Many people travel from around the region – and sometimes around the world – to attend shows at the Cat's Cradle and other venues in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Less famous, but also doing us proud, are visual artists, dancers, actors, and filmmakers around the Triangle. In fact, Chapel Hill was home to the first Flicker festival, which now takes place in ten cities around the world!
From the Chapel Hill Herald:

A friend of mine saw this film and recommended it. It's a documentary about "the history of Oil prices and the future of alternative fuels." Apparently the screening will benefit Chapel Hill's Clean Cities Coalition (not sure who/what that is). From http://www.gasholemovie.com/Tour.html
In lieu of traditional distribution, and due to the important nature of the topic, the Producers have opted to pursue a unique model in which the filmmakers will personally attend the premiere of "GasHole" in dozens of cities. Each screening will be followed by Question and Answers with the filmmakers and some cities will include a local panel of experts.
It is very important to the entire GASHOLE TEAM that this project generate as much good will and practical solutions as possible. In many cities the premiere of the movie will be included in a Benefit Fund Raising Event to raise money for local worthy causes, such as Historical Theater Renovation, Youth Scholarships and local chapters of The Clean Cities Coalition. Each Benefit Event will be unique to that city and organization, but each will include a screening of the Documentary "GasHole" followed by a reception with the filmmakers Jeremy Wagener and Scott D. Roberts.
Time: 2 Screenings and Q & A's, 3:00pm and 5:30pm
