Encore Community Screening

Cinemapolis, 120 E. Green St., Ithaca, NY

Tompkins County, NY is one of the cloudiest, least windy places in the
country, and yet its residents are proving that we can meet our energy
needs through totally renewable resources. From solar and wind to
veggie oil and geothermal, "Empowered" tells the story of one
community's role in the energy independence revolution.
Join us for an encore Ithaca screening featuring a panel discussion
and tabling by local sustainability groups and renewable energy
installers. Since our community sneak peek screening at the end of
September, we have refined the film and added lots of animations so
even you've seen it, there's lot's of new stuff to check out!
This event is co-presented by Finger Lakes Bioneers, Ithaca Green
Building Alliance, Sierra Club Finger Lakes Group and Sustainable
Tompkins.
The screening kicks off a NY state tour co-sponsored by Finger Lakes
Bioneers and Sierra Club Finger Lakes Group.
"Empowered" is an independent feature-length documentary directed by
Shira Golding Evergreen and produced by Suzanne McMannis.
