Wild and Scenic: Environmental Film Festival On Tour

Patagonia is sponsoring what they call the largest environmental film festival in the United States.  The actual fest took place earlier this month, but just because you didn’t make it to Nevada City, CA, that doesn’t mean you’re left out.  They’re going on tour – so check your local listings. 

What can you expect?  A few hours of films that will bring out your inner-activist.  Each location will be showcasing any number of film festival entries.  Here is the description I found on the Friends of the Fox River website (the Chicagoland stop on the tour).

The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival Tour brings together award-winning environmental films in the spirit of inspiration and education. The films leave people feeling inspired and motivated to go out and make a difference in their communities and around the world. Whether it is the struggle for environmental justice, information on renewable energy, or an educational tale about an endangered species, the films bring awareness to the natural world around us and our role in that delicate balance.  

 Stop here to check out some trailers and you can also checkout their YouTube page. 

P.S.  If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, you’re in luck.  The DC Environmental Film Festival is coming up - March 11-22.  The film schedule has yet to be released.
