CANCELED -- Solar-Powered Film Series -- An Evening with Matthew Modine

Due to bad weather, this event has been canceled.

Matthew Modine is a political activist and a passionate environmentalist. He is the founder of Bicycle For A Day (BFAD), a global initiative focused on promoting the use of bicycles for transportation to reduce carbon emissions and their poisonous effect on the environment.

In addition to being an internationally renowned actor, Matthew is also a filmmaker, writer and photographer. In fact, three of the selections in the Film Series -- When I Was a Boy, Smoking and Ecce Pirate -- have debuted at Sundance before being screened at Film Festivals the world over. He has worked with many of the film industry’s most acclaimed directors on projects including Birdy, Full Metal Jacket, Married to the Mob, Shortcuts and Showtime’s Weeds. Matthew is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Matthew will be introducing and answering questions about his short films, as well as signing posters and other memorabilia after the screening.
