SUMMARY:BBG x BIFF Present: 2025 Solar Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our newly installed solar panels\, Berkshire Botanical Garden (BBG) has partnered with the Berkshire International Film Festival (BIFF) to present the 2025 Solar Film Forum on Sunday\, April 13\, at BBG. The event will commence at 11 a.m. with a series of short films focused on agrovoltaics\, including “Pastures and Panels\,” “Harvesting the Sun\,” “Sunshine Synergy: Agrivoltaics with BlueWave\,” and several others. Following a complimentary lunch\, BBG and BIFF will screen “Common Ground\,” a film that highlights regenerative farming practices. This will be accompanied by a panel discussion on the synergy between agrivoltaics and regenerative farming in fostering a more sustainable agricultural approach. \nClick here for Tickets\nThe panel will feature esteemed speakers including Jesse Robertson-Dubois from BlueWave and an AGSA board member\, Dan Finnegan from Solar Shepherd\, LLC (who is also featured in two of the short films being screened and is an AGSA board member)\, and Tony Stone\, a filmmaker and climate-neutral developer at Hudson NY’s Basilica Green and River House. The discussion will be moderated by Lillian Lennox\, BIFF senior programmer and board member\, and member of the Roaring Brook Family Foundation.  This event is sponsored by the Roaring Brook Family Foundation. \nSubsequent to the panel\, Mike Beck\, executive director of BBG\, will conduct a guided tour of the Garden’s new solar installation\, which was made possible by the generous support of BBG patrons and a grant from Tern Foundation.
