Film Series
The CSD hosts a Sustainable Development Film Series for sustainability-related movies, documentaries and short films each semester. Screenings take place on Thursday evening in Goldsmith Lecture Hall, Rm. 3.120, and begin at 7:00 P.M. In addition, they are followed by a brief discussion of the themes and ideas presented in the film.
We are always looking for suggestions of great films for future schedules that will enrich students' experiences here at UT. If you have any recommendations, please email the title(s) to Rachel Tepper at rach.tepper@gmail.com. Additionally, if you know anyone associated with the film or an expert on the topics covered that may be able to speak to the audience afterwards, please include this information as well.
