Film director Chris Paine to be a keynote speaker
at PAG’s Sustainability and Energy Expo in March
Chris Paine, writer and director of the acclaimed film, “Who Killed the Electric Car,” will be a keynote speaker at Pima Association of Governments’ Sustainability and Energy Expo on March 6-7 at the Tucson Convention Center.
Paine’s film on the demise of General Motors’ EV-1, all-electric vehicle was released in 2006 and was featured at the Sundance, Tribeca and San Francisco film festivals and has become a must-see film for anyone interested in future trends in transportation.
Paine currently is working on a movie sequel to be called “Revenge of the Electric Car.” He is a supporter of the not-for-profit organization, Plug-In America.
The two-day Expo, which attracted more than 4,000 people in 2007, will be held in Exhibit Hall A at the TCC and will feature a film festival, several panel discussions with national and regional experts, and a display of alternative vehicles, including the University of Arizona solar car.
Paine’s presentation will be held at 1p.m. on March 7 in the Mojave room at the TCC. The expo hours are 3-7 p.m. March 6 and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on March 7.
