Event

Environmental Film Series to be held at UPT
Contributed by: Tammy Knapp on 8/22/2008

What:

The University of Pittsburgh at Titusville will host an environmental film series.

The theme for the series will focus on various environmental issues facing our planet. The series opens with a film examining the worldwide implications of "peak oil." Next year, 2009, marks the sesquicentennial of the oil industry - an industry that began in Titusville 150 years ago and ushered in an age of unprecedented growth. Subsequent films will focus on global warming (crisis or scam?), the future of food production, and over population.

At the conclusion of each screening, the audience is encouraged to discuss what can be done, what should be done, and the consequences of inaction.

Discussions are scheduled every other Thursday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in Henne Auditorium.

The schedule of events includes:

November 8, 2008: **WORLD PREMIER** BLIND SPOT.
The film's producer, Amanda Zackem, and Director, Adolfo Doring will be attending!

November 20, 2008: Who Killed the Electric Car.

January 15, 2009: The Eleventh Hour.

January 29, 2009: The Future of Food.

February 12, 2009: The Corporation.

March 5, 2009: The Great Global Warming Swindle.
