IL. Chasing
Ice
is
the
story
of
one
mans
mission
to
provide
visual
evidence
of
Earths
changing
climate.
The
film
uses
still
photographs
and
revolutionary
time-lapse
photography
to
capture
the
rapid
disappearance
of
ancient
mountains
of
ice
across
the
Arctic. In
"Food
Patriots,"
Chicago-based
filmmaker,
Jeff
Spitz,
weaves
one
family's
experience
into
a
tapestry
of
stories
about
people
who
are
changing
the
way
Americans
eat,
buy
and
educate
the
next
generation
about
food.
Spitz
will
be
on
hand
to
discuss
his
film
following
the
preview. Black
Gold
explores
the
exploitation
of
Ethiopian
coffee
farmers
and
the
global
coffee
trade.
Fair
Trade
Africa
and
For
the
Price
of
a
Cup
of
Coffee

screened,
to
help
engage
viewers
in
a
discussion
about
how
to
minimize
waste
and
promote
social
change

coffee.
These
preview
films
will
give
viewers
a
sampling
of
the
depth,
breadth
and
quality
of
the
One
Earth
Film
Festivals
offerings
this
year,
said
Ana
Garcia
Doyle,
festival
founder
and
leader
of
the
film
selection
team.
We
believe
the
festival
will
be
inspiring
to
those
new
to
the
concept
of
sustainability,
as
well
as
to
the
long-time
environmentalist.
The
films
tell
the
human
story
behind
the
issues
and
they
are
solution-oriented. The
second
annual
One
Earth
Film
Festival,
sponsored
by
Green
Community
Connections,
will
feature
nearly
40
sustainability-themed
films
and
facilitated
discussions
at
sites
throughout
Oak
Park,
River
Forest
and
Forest
Park
the
weekend
of
March
1-3.
