Bringing about environmental change and awareness in our community is one of ECOMB’s primary goals. And this is exactly what Cinema Green Project is all about: through the screening of environmental documentaries, educate and increase the awareness among Miami-Dade County residents about pressing ecological issues in South Florida and around the world.
The Cinema Green Project, produced in collaboration with the Miami Beach Cinematheque, is a monthly film series that fuses lessons learned from each screening with an opportunity to get involved in local sustainability efforts, yielding a more environmentally conscious society. In doing so, ECOMB hopes to inspire advocacy and action amongst the community and provide opportunities for positive change to occur.
About Cinematheque:
The Miami Beach Cinematheque, home to the Miami Beach Film Society and the Miami Beach International Film Festival, is now located at 1130 Washington Avenue. The new theater, which features stadium seating, high-def projection and Dolby digital sound, is the first certified “green” interior in Miami Beach and meets LEED standards for energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction. In addition, the Cinematheque houses a gallery space, film museum, and café.
Other Partners
ECOMB has also worked with various other local site partners to present Cinema Green screenings, including the Miami Design Preservation League’s Deco Center, the Mitrani Warehouse, and the Miami Science Museum.
