Wind over Water
Ole Tangen, USA, documentary, 32 min., 2004
Canadian Premiere
 Cape Cod, Massachusetts: pleasure island for the New England aristocracy and also potential new home for an offshore wind farm. Is wind-power the solution for clean energy for the future? Will there be an adverse affect on the ecosystem? The director effectively contextualizes these essential questions and also asks: is this a case of a private developer simply attempting to profit from a public resource? Are the windmills out there on the horizon actually a form of visual pollution? Wind over Water chronicles an impassioned and intriguing debate about land, energy and the environment, and helps clarify the issues surrounding the future of wind energy in the United States. Thorough, thoughtful, and informative. – R.S
