Comic actor and electric vehicle owner James Whittingham demonstrates why going electric isn't about saving the world, it's about buying a better vehicle.
A humorous look at the rampant myths surrounding driving an electric vehicle in Saskatchewan and why your next vehicle will be electric.
James Whittingham is a long-time comedic presence in Regina starting with The James and Kevin Show in the 1990s. His comedy segments with Kevin Allardyce aired nationally while their success culminated in hosting vignettes throughout the 1997 season of Just For Laughs on CBC Television. In the oughts, after several TV pilots, he moved to blogging, vlogging and podcasting. In the past decade he has returned to his roots in cinema as a comic writer and actor. His screen credits include WolfCop, A.R.C.H.I.E. and his starring role as James Pittman in The Sabbatical, now streaming on Prime. In 2019, James has been advocating for green technology and is an opinion writer for CBC Saskatchewan. He is currently helping write Brian Stockton's followup to The Sabbatical due to be released in 2021. This is Whittingham's third winter driving an electric car in Regina and he can't remember how to use a gas pump.
The talk will be followed by a film screening of "Revenge of the Electric Car"
By 2006, as many as 5,000 electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them. Today, the electric car is back with a vengeance. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is America's future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever. It's not just the next generation of green cars that's on the line, it's the future of the automobile itself.

The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.
For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
