Southampton - Stony Brook Southampton's Avram Theater's First Annual Green Film Series continues. The series is free and open to the public, with films running each Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Upcoming films include: "Cheat Neutral" and "Cities" (Feb. 19), "Blue Vinyl" (Feb. 26), "Buyer Be Fair" (March 5), "The Monarch, A Butterfly Beyond Borders" (March 12), "Black Diamonds" (March 19), "Water First and Turtle World" (March 26), "Swim for the River" (April 2), and "Build Green" (April 16).

Filmed in ports from Western Canada to France, from Scotland to Senegal, "Weather The Storm" introduces viewers to the logic underlying both industrial and smaller-scale fishing economies. It provides compelling evidence for the environmental and socio-economic benefits of staying small and local. Although the battle to save the oceans is often publicly waged between environmentalists and corporations, this film gives voice to an important group who just may have the solutions we need: the small-scale fishers.

"Cheat Neutral" is a hilarious film that follows satirical website creators Alex Randall and Christian Hunt as they try to sell the idea of cheat offsetting to a bemused public. From the high street to the Houses of Parliament, they spark an important and timely debate about the inadequacies of carbon offsetting.

"Cities" looks at what sustainability means in locations as diverse as East L.A.; Sao Paolo and Curitiba, Brazil; Vancouver, and Portland. Jane Jacobs, Bill McKibben, Bill Rees, California Senator Martha Escutia, and John Ryan offer their ideas on what living sustainably in the world's cities means.

In its second year, Stony Brook Southampton, a model of sustainability that was featured in The New York Times this past summer and on "NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams" and "The Today Show" this past spring, is continuing with its plans to build one of the nation's truly green campuses.

All movies are produced by renowned environmental film company Bullfrog Films. Each event will also have a designated speaker to discuss the topic at hand. For additional information, contact 631-632-5023.
