The 2008 Green Reel Environmental Film Festival
The City Playhouse Theatre is set to be host to one of the most interesting events of early 2008 when they roll out the red carpet (or rather, should that be the green carpet?) for the 2008 Green Reel Environmental Film Festival.
The festival is designed to have a number of different documentaries as well as mainstream and independent productions shown at it. The only real requirement for a particular feature to be shown at the festival is that it needs to have an environmental theme of some kind. When this was weighed by the directors of the festival, a list of over twenty different films were selected to be screened for free in some places and for a small admission fee of $4 in other places.
Here are some films that are going to be shown:
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash
The Edge of Eden: Living with Grizzlies
Black Gold
Who Killed the Electric Car?
Sicko
Being Caribou
Toxic Trespass
Perhaps the one major drawback of this event is the fact that getting to it is somewhat difficult if you are traveling by public transit. You are going to have to go to Bathurst Station, take a bus north for quite awhile and then walk a bit to get to where you want to go. For this one event, if you are interested in attending it, a taxi ride or a two-day car rental might be a better idea.
