Environmental film festival: coal and ice

PEORIA -- An Environmental Film Festival takes place at the Apollo Theatre in Downtown Peoria on November 6 & 7, 2009.
 
This is an educational event as well as a fundraiser for Heart of Illinois Group, Sierra Club. 
 

Friday night, Nov. 6,  is Coal Night.  The movie presentations include a film debut of "Sinking the Heartland" with the videographer, Cindy Ward, in attendance.  The subject of the film is longwall coal mining in Montgomery County, Illinois.

The feature presentation for Friday night is "Burning the Future:  Coal in America."  Our other special guest in attendance will be Bauer Power, a renewable energy installer.  

 

Saturday night is Ice Night.  The movie presentations include a short film debut about the Village of DePue and the EPA Superfund site within their village, and another short film, "Mountains Without Barriers" about three very special mountain climbers. 

The feature film was donated by National Geographic and Nova called "Extreme Ice." 

 
Those arriving early can browse tables of information, sign up for door prizes and munch on locally grown popcorn!

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
