Five acclaimed films are on deck to launch Erin’s 2013 Fast Forward Environmental Film Fest beginning Jan. 16 at the Erin Legion.
The first screening, How to Boil a Frog, is a madcap documentary by Vancouver filmmaker Jon Cooksey.
Cooksey teaches all about ‘overshoot’ – too many people using up too much planet way too fast. The serious part of the film – what we can do about this big pickle we’re in – has a huge dollop of Cooksey’s zany wit interwoven through a whole bunch of wonderful and practical wisdom.
The first film in the series is sponsored by Transition Erin and Harmony Acres.
Doors open at the Erin Legion at 6:30pm with the show to begin at 7pm.
The remaining four films in the 2013 Fast Forward series include:
– Last Call at the Oasis, Feb. 20, sponsored by Credit Valley Conservation.
– Chasing Ice, Mar. 20, sponsored by Wellington Water Watchers.
– Revolution, April 10, sponsored by Treehaven Natural Foods.
– Revenge of the Electric Car, May 8, sponsored by Everpure Bio-Diesel.
