Environmental economist and television producer Pamela Peeters will be hosting the third annual “Sustainable Planet” TM festival on July 19th at the Chelsea Art Museum.

She joined the US partnership for the UNESCO decade on in March of 2005 and founded the Sustainable Planet Film Festival later on that year.

“Sustainable Planet”is a festival that promotes development (*). It is the first platform where moviemakers can meet with for-profit and non-profit organizations in order to watch movies and discuss solutions in an entertaining way. Films to screen come from India, Belgium, the USA, France, Haiti, Lebanon, Germany, Australia, and Brazil and showcase community building efforts and/or environmental care. Contact Pamela Peeters for the entire program and the list of selected movies at info@pamelapeeters.com.

Films and Knowledge: A New Concept
For 2008 we have expanded our concept and now also offer a “KNOWLEDGE ROOM” in addition to our traditional “VISION ROOM” (where screenings take place). The “KNOWLEDGE ROOM” is a space where we will showcase presentations and panel discussions on breakthroughs in various categories. It is through the  “KNOWLEDGE ROOM” that the audience can gain information on products and corporate initiatives in 8 different categories (art, business, , culinary delight, entertainment, personal development, ECO- and sport).

She has produced and hosted over 200 episodes of her feel-good TV show “Our Planet”.

Pamela lectures internationally and released her first book URBAN ECOLOGY earlier this year.
