The filmmakers for "Revenge of the Electric Car" are very happy to announce that the film will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2011 in New York City.
"Revenge of the Electric Car" is the new feature documentary film about electric cars from Chris Paine, director of the 2006 success, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" The new film tells the story of how the plug-in car as come back from the dead in just a few short years, going behind the scenes for 3 years with 3 carmakers and 1 converter as they race to bring their electric cars to market. With gas prices rising around the world again in monetary and environmental terms, many drivers want alternatives.
Tribeca announced that "Revenge of the Electric Car" will make its grand debut during the opening weekend as its Spotlight feature documentary. The filmmakers are especially excited to be premiering at such a prestigious festival. "For many people, this is year 1 of the electric car," said director Chris Paine. "For us to be playing at Tribeca in New York on Earth Day is a great sign that the electric car revolution is are more then just a great story, it's our future with less imported oil."
After the Earth Day premiere, the film will have a handful of other screenings at the Tribeca Film Festival. Tickets to those screenings will go on sale at the festival's website within the next few weeks.
The filmmakers have been receiving a large amount of emails from fans asking when the film will be playing near them, and so far the only answer we can give is "as soon as we can!" After the film's premiere at Tribeca, we'll be mapping out our release strategy to bring the film to the cities with the most requests for it first: http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com/see-the-film.html
