Half Moon Bay’s Coastside Film Society: The Next Frontier and In Transition 1.0 on January 14, 2011
The Next Frontier: Engineering the Golden Age of Green.
An exploration into the practicality of adopting wind, solar and hydro power as replacements for fossil fuels. Funded by the group Professional Engineers in California Government, this documentary is more interested in discussing what can be done using existing technologies than in debating what happens if we don’t go green.
This documentary film evaluates green energy schemes adopted throughout the world — from tidal turbines in Ireland to concentrated solar plants in California — and suggests approaches that have the best chance to flourish in the United States and in California. It features animation by Emmy Award winner, Bay Area resident, and friend of the Film Society, Charlie Canfield — who will join us at the screening.
In Transition 1.0: From oil dependence to local resilience.
A look at the “In Transition” movement and its focus on rebuilding local economies so they can thrive in a world where oil production has peaked. Members of the Half Moon Bay branch of “In Transition” will attend and lead the post-screening discussion with the audience.
