ERIC MOE SUSTAINABILITY FILM AWARD PROGRAM
BLUEBIRD MAN (US, 2014, 28 min.) Washington, DC Premiere
People call Al Larson "The Bluebird Man" for good reason: at 92, this self-taught conservationist has dedicated 35 years of his life to saving North America's bluebirds by maintaining a network of over 300 "nestboxes" in the highlands of Idaho that provide vital support to a ecovering population. Bluebird Man aims to inspire our next generation of citizen scientists, while reveling in the humble effort of Larson's endeavor and the grandeur of the birds he's fighting to save. Directed by Neil Paprocki and Matthew Podolsky.
EL CACAO (US/Panama, 2015, 19 min.) Washington, DC Premiere
On his farm in the rainforest of Panama's Bocas del Toro, an indigenous cacao farmer reveals hidden inequalities in chocolate production, challenging notions of ethical sourcing, sustainability, the meaning of "Fair Trade," and the geopolitics of luxury. Directed by Michelle Aguilar.
MOVING THE GIANTS (US, 2015, 11 min.) Washington, DC Premiere
After a near-death experience, an arborist realizes what he has to do combat climate change: migrate the California coast redwoods some of nature's most prolific recyclers of CO2 northwards through a mass cloning initiative to survive threats to their environment. Directed by Michael Ramsey. Produced by Ted Wood.
Panel Discussion follows screening.
