I will be joining Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Georgia River Network and Georgia ForestWatch for the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival on March 7, 2010 from 2:00-6:00 PM at the Tara Theater in Atlanta.
(from the UCR website. For full details, click here)
With a growing public awareness for the environment, the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival aims to increase this groundswell through inspiring and educational films which hopefully will motivate people (like YOU) to go out and make a difference in their community and around the world. AND IT'S COMING TO ATLANTA AGAIN IN 2010!
Whether it is the struggle for environmental justice, information on renewable energy or an educational tale about an endangered species, the films expose people to forward-thinking ideas and global awareness. We choose films that not only highlight the concerns but provide solutions, reaching people through beautiful imagery like the sweeping landscapes of the Tallgrass Prairie or the grandeur of the rivers around the world.
Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Georgia River Network and Georgia ForestWatch have partnered to bring together the best of these award-winning environmental films in a total three-hour program. To be presented March 7, 2010 there will be up to a dozen films of varying lengths, concluding with a local interest piece.
Since 2003, the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival has grown to receive local, regional, and national applause for celebrating the spirit of environmental activism and has become the largest traveling festival of its kind in North America. Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR) , Georgia River Network and Georgia ForestWatch have partnered to bring together the best of these award-winning environmental films in a total four-hour program since 2008.
