short film selected for Eco Film Forum in Philadelphia
PEC's "Philadelphia Riverfronts and Trails" will be
screened at GreenFest Philly's Eco Film Forum on
Sunday, Sept. 7.

“Philadelphia Riverfronts and Trails,” a five-minute
television program produced by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, 3PPG and
MiND tv, will be featured
at the Eco Film Forum at the GreenFest celebration on
September 7 at 3:30.
As part of the Sustainable Philadelphia series now airing
on MiND tv, “Philadelphia
Riverfronts and Trails” is a look at the region’s efforts to reconnect with the
Delaware and Schuylkill rivers.
While shore-side activities like running
and biking have long been popular, water based activities are luring Philadelphians
INTO the river. Most recently, kayaking has become an urban recreation option.
Hidden River Outfitters and Schuylkill River Development Corporation lead tours
along the Schuylkill, while the Pennsylvania Environmental Council will soon
launch a water trail map and guide for the tidal portion of the Delaware River
(the river below Morrisville/Trenton experiences high and low tides and flows
in different directions throughout the day).
The Greenfest Philly 2008
Eco-Film Forum is curated by Future Weather Productions. The event
will feature provocative and entertaining shorts by regional filmmakers and
environmental activists. “Philadelphia Riverfronts and Trails” will be
shown during the 3:30 – 4:00 pm block on water issues, at the PhillyCarShare tent at 2nd and Pine.
In addition to the
film, PEC will be an exhibitor at GreenFest.
Attendees can stop by 2nd and South Street from 11am to 6pm to learn more about
the Tidal Delaware Water Trail, a 56-mile trail map and guide for boaters,
sailors and kayakers looking to experience the Delaware River.
