GREEN SCREEN The Environmental Film Series was created by Sustain T&T, an environmental and sustainability education non-profit organization. There mission is to educate the public about local and global environmental issues that we face through the powerful medium of film.
I have been a fan of this film series since its inception five years ago.Through the many films, short films and other events of the GREEN SCREEN I have learned so much about everything from the crisis we are facing from our polluted oceans, to modern natural architecture that can help rehabilitate the sick, to the slave labour used by corporate chocolate companies and so much more.
This year promises to be most engaging and I offer you 5 Reasons You Should Check Out GREEN SCREEN 2015.
1.TOGETHERNESS : this year's Green Screen theme is "together" and trust me it is true. If you always wanted to find out how you can participate in creating a better environment for the present and the future then you need to join this community. You will become part of movement for local and global change just by choosing to educate yourself.
2. MUSIC : yes it is a film series but there are two outstanding musical events on November 5th at the De Nu Pub and on November 13 at the Black Box. Both shows will feature some of our best local singer/song writers such as the Freetown Collective, Gillian Moor and Black Loyalty to name a few. Click here for more info. The cost is just $60 for each show.
3. A BETTER PLACE : this is a new film from acclaimed film director Miquel Galofre. I am a huge fan of Galofre who was born in Barcelona but loves the Caribbean. He has made films in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas and Haiti. Check out his website and Facebook page and I am sure you will become a fan as well. Click here for a preview of A Better Place.
4. VENUES : this year GREEN SCREEN is offering their events at some really cool venues. Medulla Art Gallery, Big Black Box and there is a screening at San Fernando Hill on Divali Night (November 10th). I've only been to Medulla Art Gallery before so it is going to be a treat to experience these venues !
5. FREE : as mentioned before the musical performances have a small fee but ALL FILMS ARE FREE !!! (excluding benefit night and school screening). You have the pleasure of seeing these great films, filling your mind with goodness and not emptying your pockets, cyah go wrong.
So check out the Green Screen Film Series 2015 (November 2 to 13). This is their website for further info, like the Facebook page and come enjoy and educate yourself and your friends, family and communities.
