The second annual Annapolis Green Film Fest will discuss the future of the nation's current energy sources and usage.

 

The second annual Annapolis Green Film Fest is scheduled to feature a panel discussion looking at the future of energy in the country from 5-8 p.m. Saturday in the Key Auditorium at St. John’s College and will include a viewing of the film Energy on Trial by Annapolis sailing expert and film producer Gary Jobson.

According to a release, Energy on Trial is a “critical re-evaluation of nuclear, fossil fuels, and renewables in terms of cost, efficiency, environmental impact, and future of the force that nurtures and drives our civilization.”

Jobson also will moderate the panel, which will include:

  • James Woolsey, former director of central intelligence and national energy security expert.
  • Dr. Gordon Bjorkman, chief of structural mechanics, Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
  • Dick D’Amato, former state delegate.
  • will be moderated by local sailing expert and video producer Gary Jobson.

The film fest is produced by Elvia Thompson of Annapolis Green and Paul Murphy, according to a release.

“Our goal in bringing the Annapolis area this series of mini-film fests is to bring attention to environmental issues,” Thompson said in a release. “We also want people to be moved to take action.”

There also will be a screening of The Story of Stuff, “an amusing but eye-opening perspective on the environmental and social aspects of our throw-away society,” according to the release.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.annapolisgreen.com/filmfest.
