The "Visions of Nature/Voices of Nature," Environmental Film Festival at Eckerd College kicked off Friday night with the winner of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or prize, Uncle Boonmee who can Recall his Past Lives.
Another highlight of this year's festival is the screening of Ondi Timoner's film Cool It, about controversial environmentalist Bjorn Lundberg's skeptical response to the solutions to global warming proposed in An Inconvenient Truth.
The film will be shown on Saturday, February 19th, at 7 p.m. and will be followed by a panel discussion with Eckerd College Professors of Marine Science David Hastings and Joel Thompson and Professor of Environmental Studies Paul Hindsley.
