Vermont's first real chill of cool fall weather sets the stage for the 26th year of the Vermont Film Festival, which began yesterday (Friday October 21) and runs through Sunday October 30.
Check out the list of films,17 of which have been created by Vermont filmmakers! Many of the films also include panel discussions, food samples, or time to meet writers and directors.
My first choice today is Transparent Radiation, a film created by the Gund Institute filmmaker Hillary Archer that debuts today at 5 pm at the Palace 9 Theater in South Burlington. This free showing includes a follow-up panel discussion with Ms. Archer and her colleagues from the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at UVM.
According to UVM's Gund Institute for Ecological Economics website, Ms. Archer
uses the film medium to explore storytelling as a way to channel new experiences for humanity and exercise human consciousness.
A 2010 UVM graduate from The Rubenstein School of Environment & Natural Resources with a BS in Natural Resources/Urban Ecology, and minor in Film, Ms. Archer works as the Media Communications Project Manager at the Gund Institute with the goal of creating
engaging videos that effectively communicate the unique energy, depth, and lessons of ecological economics to the greater community.
Also special screening tomorrow at UVM: as a Feature of the 2011 Inaugural Conference of UVM's Institute of Environmental Diplomacy
When: Sunday OCT 23, 10:30 - 11:30AM
Where: Billings Lecture Hall, UVM, Burlington VT
Discussion to follow screening with Director, Executive Producer, and Gund Institute members of the film.
