If you're a super-hip journalist with awesome connections and a sweet gig, you're spending a cush week writing about the Sundance Film Festival from snow- and celeb-covered Park City, Utah. If you're me, you're sitting in front of a computer screen in an office building in Seattle reading about all the super-hip journalists with the awesome connections spending a cush week at Sundance. (Not. Bitter.) As in past years, Sundance this year will feature several green-themed films -- including the Three Gorges Dam-focused Up the Yangtze, which was recently picked up by Zeitgeist Films -- as well as other green(ish)-themed events. And, like this guy, I don't use that "ish" lightly: You fly in from around the world, drive your rental Escalade up into an ecologically sensitive canyon, tripling the size of a tiny town and gridlocking its roads. You send a FedEx fleet worth of swag in from L.A., drink your Starbucks lattes out of disposable cups, cover the town in postcards and fliers ... It's hard to describe the Sundance Film Fest as an environmentally friendly event. Word. Still, it's hard to be mad at a festival featuring Isabella Rossellini dressed up as a horny bug.
