Free Film - SHORED UP

Controversial “SHORED UP” Film at CAC-West Meeting
Director Ben Kalina Looks at How Seaboards are Destroyed



The Citizen Advisory Committee -West (CAC-West) will replace its

regular monthly meeting on January 9, 2014, at 7:00 PM at the

Westhampton Free Library in Westhampton Beach with a free showing of the

recently released and critically reviewed  film “Shored Up” produced

and directed by Ben Kalina. This meeting, as all Southampton CAC

meetings, is open to the public and will begin at 7:00 PM.
In her

recent review in the Village Voice, Daphne Howland said, “This is a

sober look at how seaboards are vulnerable to a rise in ocean levels,

made worse by storms and massively worse by massive storms. Our

seemingly innate desire to hang on to disappearing sand, which is

essentially what our barrier islands are, is beautifully illustrated by

the film's cinematography and historical footage.Kalina has explored

what he calls the "intersection of science, culture, and the

environment" before, and started this documentary about the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers' beach replenishment project along the New Jersey

shore before Sandy shoved civilization around and set this story in

sharp relief.
That's Thursday, January 9 2014 at 7:00 PM for the

free showing of “Shored Up” hosted by CAC-West at the Westhampton Free

Library.
The Citizens Advisory Committee concept was established in

1996 by then Southampton Town Supervisor Fred Thiele to represent those

hamlet areas in not covered by any village government. There are ten

CACs in the Town representing hamlets both east and west of the canal.

Each focuses on local hamlet issues it wishes to bring to the Town

Board's attention. They will form coalitions with other CACs around

issues that affect more than one hamlet area.
