Green Screens: The 11th Hour
Thursday, August 2, 2007: 6:15 pm

We launch our new environmental program with a screening of this eagerly awaited documentary. There will be a post screening Q&A with Vijay Vaitheeswaran, the Economist’s energy & environment correspondent. There will also be a reception afterwards where you can discuss these important issues with other audience members.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been a passionate defender of the environment for years. As co-producer, co-writer and narrator of The 11th Hour (Leila Conners Petersen & Nadia Conners, US, 2007; 91m), he has now put his energies––and his voice––into an exploration of humanity’s impact on the earth and its health. In our ongoing attempt to secure a safe, healthy, “modern” life for ourselves, have we compromised our ecosystem’s delicate balance, even creating changes that could reverse all the gains we’ve made? Through conversations with leading thinkers ranging from former Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev to renowned scientist Stephen Hawking to a former head of the CIA, R. James Woolsey, The 11th Hour looks at where we are today and where we might be going tomorrow. This urgent alarm calls on us all to change things, at this last moment when change is still possible.

In addition to this new series, the Film Society will screen PSAs showcasing climate change, sustainability and other matters concerning the health of our planet and its inhabitants. We hope to be the first movie theater in the country to regularly screen such PSAs and we encourage other theaters to join us.
