This June, until December 2010, SM Supermalls in cooperation with the Department of Education will be hosting in all its 38 malls, the Green Film Festival, a one day film screening of award winning environmental documentaries which will be shown free of charge to public school students in their respective areas.
With the aim of spreading environmental advocacy using visual medium, the Green Film Festival advocates to show the beauty of our planet, to teach the value of conserving shared resources and to plan and practice environmental efforts towards a sustainable future.
With its initial screenings set on June 21-22, 2010 at SM City Sta. Rosa, environmental documentaries to be shown include award winning films such as The 11th hour, a thought provoking documentary about the fragile state of our planet's ecosystem, which stars actor Leonardo Di Caprio and gathers an impressive list of supporters, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, former head of the CIAR James Woolsey, and over 50 leading scientist. Other films include Warnings from the Wild, a documentary, produced by The New York Times, that examines the effect of global warming on the natural world and Planet Earth, known as the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by BBC, the series will take viewers to the last wildernesses and show them the planet and its wildlife as they have never seen before.
