The Green Screen Environmental Film Series wrapped up its 2013 season on an emotional note on Wednesday evening, with the hard-hitting film Bitter Seeds at UWI’s Film Programme Studio on Carmody Street, St Augustine.
But before ending on that serious note, the environmental film series treated supporters to an evening of films, wine and fine chocolate at Medulla Art Gallery on Fitt Street in Woodbrook.
Sustain T&T, the non-profit organisation that produces Green Screen, showed the films Earth Water Woman, highlighting the work of Akilah Jaramogi at the Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project, and Nothing Like Chocolate, about the “chocolate revolution” undertaken by the Grenada Chocolate Company and its charismatic late founder Mott Green.
After the films, Kemba Jaramogi, Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project’s technical director, Lesley-Ann Jurawan of Delft Cocoa Plantations Ltd and Isabel Brash of Cocobel answered questions from the audience, before chocolate tasting and liming over cocktails.
Green Screen is an annual series showing free environmental movies to the public at several venues.
The T&T Guardian was the official media partner for the Green Screen Series.
