You Are Invited:
Finger Lakes Bioneers will join Cinemapolis and Finger Lakes
Environmental Film Festival to present the Ithaca premier screening of
"The Cove" - a documentary expose of the treatment of dolphins at a
particular site along coastal Japan. This film is a "provocative mix
of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery that
adds up to an urgent plea for hope." Over the last two months, thanks
to reaction to the film, there have been reports of potential shifts
in the customs and practices depicted.
The showing will take place at 7PM on Friday, September 25, at
Cinemapolis's new location at 120 E. Green Street. A discussion will
follow featuring Christopher Clark, the I.P. Johnson director of
Cornell University's Bioacoustic Research program and Todd Schack,
assistant professor of journalism at Ithaca College. Audience
participation is encouraged.
The newly formed Finger Lakes Bioneers will be hosting a diverse array
of programming in concert with the internationally renowned Bioneers
Conference - (www.bioneers.org -- which is celebrating its 20th year
of providing a global environmental forum with practical solutions for
people and the planet).
From Oct. 16 to 18 the inaugural Finger Lakes Bioneers event will be
held on the Ithaca College campus and various locations downtown. For
more information and for registration visit www.wemakeourfuture.org.
