This post comes to you from EcoArtScotland
This collaboration between Sustainable Uist and Taigh Chearsabhagh Arts Centre, Lochmaddy, promises a weekend of challenging and interesting films April 29 – May 1, 2011. Taigh Chearsabhagh is the excellent gallery, arts centre and cultural hub on the very most western edge of Europe (the outer Hebrides).
Recommendations I received recently include Gasland and Home (other suggestions?).
But programming a film festival? Greenpeace actions off youTube? Or Wall-E, The Day After Tomorrow, Avatar? An Inconvenient Truth: is it too tired?. Looking forward to hearing their choices.
Film, environmental activism, greenwash: discuss.
