Description of Pictures: ISLANDS IN THE WIND (USA, 2011, 22 min.)
World Premiere Tired of the hand-wringing, moaning, and societal inaction about climate change and high energy costs? The colorful characters of North Haven and Vinalhaven, two small islands off the Maine coast, decide overwhelmingly to do something about it. Boldness has beauty, daring and risk to it. Several neighbors seize the mainland headlines with complaints of disruptive turbine noise, but 98 percent of the islanders keep their eye on the falling electricity bills, the future of their island children and some of the most innovative community wind energy activity in the United States. This is an insider story of charm, passion and commitment to community life that the news reportage almost completely missed, and a case study of the pitfalls, and promises, of the post-fossil fuel economy. Directed by David Conover. Produced by Compass Light Productions.
Discussion with filmmaker David Conover follows screening.

CREATING SYNTHETIC LIFE (USA, 2010, 60 min.)
Behind the stories of opening Pandora's Box, Prometheus Unbound, The Genie and the Bottle, and Frankenstein, there actually is a significant science story that needs to be told about the work of one group of synthetic biologists. This program is the result of exclusive seven-year access to the scientific team of J. Craig Venter, who, for the first time in human history, has created life and must grapple with the implied ethical dilemmas that inevitably arise. Directed by David Conover. Produced by Compass Light Productions and Science Channel, a Discovery Company.
Discussion with filmmaker David Conover follows screening.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
