Time: Oct 15, 2010
Location: Al Green Theatre, in the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre, 750 Spadina Ave
The event will start with a screening of the short film ‘Planet’ before moving on to the main feature. ‘A Road Not Taken’ is the story of a first attempt at installing solar panels on the White House in 1979 during the Carter presidency. At that time, the world was immersed in an environmental movement similar to that which we are experiencing today, however with some pointed contextual differences.
The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion about the film and the lessons we can apply to the contemporary context of environmentalism. At 7:00, in order to make way for the next screening of the festival, the conversation will move to the nearby Duke of York pub.
Tickets are only $5 through the TIFF box office, so get yours before they run out!
