Berkeley Public Library Foundation Hosts Benefit Screening with Oscar Winning Filmmaker

Join the Berkeley Public Library Foundation on March 10, 2016 at 6:00pm for an evening with Academy Award winning director Charles Ferguson, producer Jeff Horowitz and a screening of their recent film, Time To Choose. Featured at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris and shown at the White House, this is a unique opportunity to view what Ferguson describes as “the most fascinating, beautiful, scary, hopeful project I have ever undertaken.”

Time To Choose takes on one of the most pressing issues of our time: global climate change. Spanning five continents, the film focuses on the innovators, leaders and average people working to tackle the problem– from American farmers and African villagers to Indonesian anti-corruption officials and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

The screening will take place at Meyer Sound Laboratories’ state-of-the-art Pearson Theatre (2832 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley CA 94702), a sensory environment that redefines the concept of what a theatre can be.

Light refreshments donated by Grace Street Catering served prior to the screening.

This event is part of AfterWORDS, the Berkeley Public Library Foundation’s seasonal series of up close events with artists, authors and thinkers. Proceeds support It’s Time for Central, a fundraiser for Berkeley Public Library’s new Teen Room at the downtown Central Library.
