The Film Panel Notetaker

The  Woodstock Film Festival, one of my very favorites, announced today their full lineup of nearly 150 fiercely independent films, panels, performances and special events, kicking-off Wednesday, September 29 through Sunday, October 3.

I am particularly honored to have worked with Woodstock Film Festival Co-Founder and Executive Director Meira Blaustein in co-programming what we hope will be a very informative and inspiring panel discussion, “Environmentally Speaking: Improving Our Planet with the Power of Film.”

The panel will answer the following questions and take a deep look at these important issues:

Can film make an impact on how we take care of our planet? Do we need to be more environmentally responsible in how we make our films to get our messages across? Where is the intersection of making films about the environment and making films that are environmentally conscious? Join us as filmmakers, industry leaders and environmental experts discuss the impact films have on our planet.

Moderating the discussion will be Lydia Dean Pilcher, President of Cine Mosaic and producer over 28 feature films. Pilcher is a Chair of the Producer’s Guild of America Green Committee (pgagreen.org), and is a presenter for The Climate Project, Al Gore’s climate change leadership program.

We live in an era of exponentially increasing advances in artificial intelligence, nano technology, robotics, designer drugs, bionics, and techniques to defeat—and perhaps even reverse—cellular aging.

What promises and challenges does this vision of the future hold?
