This October and November, the Guth Gafa International Documentary Festival hits the road and
will screen award-winning documentaries in regional centres around the country. In doing so, the
Guth Gafa Roadshow is offering audiences in the four provinces exposure to hard-hitting, groundbreaking
documentaries on environmental and human rights themes. The documentaries that will
be screened as part of the Guth Gafa Roadshow are those that are not usually seen in the large
multiplexes around the country or on home television screens.
Alongside the screening of two key films exploring environmental and human rights themes, in
each region, members of community groups and public representatives have been invited to take
part in post-screening discussions on the issues raised by the films. Discussions such as these
will involve the audience in the issues behind the films and make the Guth Gafa Roadshow 2012
an interactive experience for all those who attend.
Films to be screened:
Windfall
Director: Laura Israel (USA, 2010, 83’)
Wind power… It’s green… It’s good… It reduces our dependency on foreign oil. But does it? Or, is it
merely a highly profitable financial scam for the many wind energy developers looking to erect
industrial wind turbines in a town near you? Windfall, looks at both sides of wind energy develo
ment when the residents of a rural upstate New York town consider going green. Attracted at first
to the financial incentives that would seemingly boost their dying economy, the townspeople grow
increasingly alarmed as they discover the impact that the 400-foot Airtricity windmills, slated for
Meredith, would bring to their community.
