Beverly Turns Green April 5-6 for First ECO Film Festival of Massachusetts; Features Nine Award-Winning Films and Documentaries at New Wylie Conference Center, Endicott College, and Montserrat College

BEVERLY, MA–( EMWNews – April 1, 2008) – Premiering on Saturday and Sunday, April 5th

and 6th, is the first ECO Film Festival of Massachusetts

(http://www.ecofilmfestival.us), featuring nine award-winning films and

documentaries being shown in Beverly at the new Wylie Conference Center at

Endicott College on Saturday and at Montserrat College of Art on Sunday.

The mission of the festival is to raise awareness about our environment and

ways we can each make a difference. Films, parties, art exhibits, organic

lunches, children’s events and tours of the solar and wind site in Beverly

are all on offer over the weekend.

Along with the Saturday showings there will be a Green Lounge featuring

local environmental groups and companies discussing issues of concern along

with new technologies for saving energy, reducing carbon footprints and

aiding local conservation. Among those appearing will be Salem Sound

Coastwatch, Groom Energy, Daylight Communications, Healthlink, and Solar

Now.

Special appearances include the filmmakers Heather Barrie of Nashville, TN

presenting her film “Kilowatt Ours” and Liz Argo of “The View and the

Vision” featuring a documentary on the wind farms in Denmark. Premiering at

the Festival will also be the newly released film, “The Unforeseen.”

In addition, there will be a special Gala Party Saturday night to celebrate

renewable energy and to raise funds for Solar Now, the oldest solar site of

its size in the United States installed by the Carter Administration in

1981. The Gala at the Wylie Conference Center will feature the premiere of

“Kilowatt Ours” followed by cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and dancing.

Sunday offers a tour of Solar Now, several afternoon films, vegetarian
