The Green Film Screening brings a full house from
the local community
Since 2011, the Green Film Series has
offered free monthly film screenings at the Michigan Tech
from January through May. Films are selected in order to
share relevant information, facilitate discussion, and
enhance the capability of community members to make informed
sustainable decisions. The Green Film Series not only
provides a platform for local community awareness and
activism, but it also connects our local community to the
momentum, understanding, and the efforts of our larger
global community.
The Green Film Series focuses on a
range of significant topics concerning the
environment--water, energy, climate change-- and many social
and community topics--economics, under-represented voices,
sustainable food production, and more. Following each film,
a facilitator knowledgeable on that topic, will lead an
informal discussion.
Visit the
LSSI Events Page to view this year’s film schedule and
for more information.
Community members enjoy refreshments and discussion
offered at the Green Film Screening
These films were purchased by
the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative with grant funding
from several sources, and may be used for educational
purposes at no charge. Past Green Films are available for
2-week checkout for classroom, meetings, or home viewings.
