See email below. This is the documentary by a local film maker and it features all local companies and local people who are INNOVATING and forging new directions with power generation, efficiency, and making life more sustainable. These companies and people are ALL from the Finger Lakes region! Proving this region can do wineries, tourism, eco-tourism and INNOVATION! There is no reason this region cannot be a magnet for this combination! On future showings I may be asked to be on the panel after the film. There will be more screenings in Ithaca and Seneca Lake area. Perhaps there could be a screening in Montour Falls..

Auburn Premiere of New Documentary "EMPOWERED: Power From the People"on April 17th New Film's Goal is to Help People, Communities, and Region Advance Energy Resilience Finger Lakes Bioneers, in partnership with the Auburn Public Theater, presents the Auburn premiere of EMPOWERED: Power From The People, a 70-minute documentary film directed by Shira Golding Evergreen and produced by Suzanne McMannis in 2012. This film vividly illustrates that it is our friends and neighbors who are pioneering alternative energy. Right here in the Finger Lakes region's Tompkins County, many have already implemented changes toward a sustainable future and in EMPOWERED they enjoy the opportunity to tell their stories to the public- what inspired them, what first steps they took, how things are working. Viewers will explore residential and public installations that utilize solar, wind, geothermal and even 'veggie' oil. They'll also get a glimpse into the entrepreneurial business spirit that is driving new community wind, biodiesel and solar power projects. There will a one-time special screening on Tuesday, April 17th at 7PM at APT. Admission is $5 advance, $6 at door. The Auburn Public Theater is located downtown at 8 Exchange Street in Auburn. Website with directions and more information is <http://www.auburnpublictheater.com/> www.auburnpublictheater.com. After the film there will be a short panel discussion with plenty of time for audience participation to explore relevant Auburn and Cayuga County dimensions. Panelists will include Susan Galbraith of Taitem Engineering (http://www.taitem.com/) and Chris Carrick of the Central NY Regional Planning and Development Board (http://www.cnyrpdb.org/). This inspiring movie is now being shown around the region by community-based organizations and innovative venues to help promote and build a more sustainable energy and economic infrastructure. Come to this program and see how citizens and businesses and policy-makers across the state of New York could be further developing and implementing local solutions to environmental, technical and social challenges. Finger Lakes Bioneers has hosted two regional conferences and helped link central New York audiences to the work of Bioneer innovators ( <http://www.Bioneers.org/> www.Bioneers.org). This presentation at the Auburn Public Theater is part of an ongoing regional 'traveling Chautauqua' that links films and audience conversations to current issues. This film will also be presented on Wednesday, April 18th near Rochester at the Brighton Town Hall at 7PM in partnership with the Center for Sustainable Living (For more info: https://sites.google.com/site/centersustainableliving/home). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Contact: Nick Vaczek, Finger Lakes Bioneers, 607-227-7222, [email protected] _____ No virus found in this message.
