The Coolidge Corner Theatre

$5 all seats

A sneak-peak at the much-anticipated film The Muddy River Chronicles leads a series of short films on the environment. Andrew Belt, one of the founders of the Green Guild will lead a post-film discussion with the
filmmaker of The Muddy River Chronicles, Brookline native and documentary filmmaker Bob Nesson, professor at Emerson College, as well as local officials who will comment on the process of rehabilitation that the Muddy River is just beginning. Joining the panel will be Ed Del Grande. Ed is a three-time master plumber and host of "Ed The Plumber" on the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Network. Ed also serves as Kohler Co.'s national spokesperson on water conservation and all things plumbing.

Additional films will cover a range of topics on sustainability, energy conversation and the
environment including transportation, locally grown food and solid waste. The Festival will
close with One Home at a Time, which features the real work involved in weatherizing your
home and the dramatic impact it can make on the average homeowner’s utility costs and carbon
footprint. The Green Guild and its cofounder, Jim Lockwood, are highlighted in this film on
weatherization.

Each film will be followed by a panel discussion including many of those featured in the films,
during which the audience in the Theater will have the opportunity to join the debate.
