Hailed by some viewers as a "life-transformational film," Flight from Death uncovers fear of death as a possible root cause of much of our everyday behaviors. Through stunning visuals and insightful interviews, this multiple award-winning film ('Best Feature' NW Film Forum; 'Audience Award for Best Documentary' 2004 Malibu Film Festival; 'Audience Award for Best Documentary' 2004 Northern Lights Documentary Film Festival; 'Grand Prize: Best Documentary' 2004 Rhode Island International Film Festival; 'Best Documentary' 2003 Silver Lake Film Festival; 'Best Documentary' 2003 Ohio Independent Film Festival; and 'Audience Award for Best Documentary' 2003 Beverly Hills Film Festival) explores human beings' innate and subconscious fear of death and portrays the impacts of that fear on our behavior, specifically in regard to violence.

Woody Allen once said, "I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens." This probing film explores the myriad ways human beings have devised to do just that. A culmination of many years of research and shooting in locations such as Egypt, Israel, Guyana, Mexico, Greece, and China, Flight from Death provides a definitive study of the ultimate question that each one of us must face. Guided by the narration of Gabriel Byrne, this film poses the big questions to an all-star cast of scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers. In the end, this film provides the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on video.

In addition to the film, co-producer Greg Bennick will be on hand for a question and answer period.

Also, Fractal Pattern (Alberta, Canada) will be performing after the film.
"Fractal Pattern strives for artistic honesty and integrity both in live performance and in the recording studio. The band has played with bands on many ends of the musical spectrum from indie-supergroup Weakerthans to technical metalcore band The End and the ecclectic Aussies Clann Zu, never turning their nose on a chance to rock. The band are highly devoted to their local music scene as well and have worked with Black Dot Productions to put together Gigs in Weird Places, a series of shows showcasing local talent in unconventional venues such as the Edmonton Public Library and the Catalyst Theatre. In addition, the band is involved with various political causes and remains devoted to the dissemination of information valuing animal and human rights."

All proceeds from the event will go to the SHAC7 appeals fund. SHAC7.com for more details.
