Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival
The Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival is coming to Alabama!
When: August 21, 2009, 5-9pm
Where: Harbert Center, 2019 Fourth Avenue North Birmingham, AL 35203-8812
The Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival is the largest environmental film festival in North America. The main event is celebrated each January in Arizona City, NV and hosted by the South Yuba River Citizens League. Thanks to grants from national sponsors, the festival then goes on tour to communities throughout the US. This year, Alabama Environmental Council, Alabama Rivers Alliance, and the Birmingham community have chosen 15 of our favorite films to show, from categories like sustainable energy to community activism.
The goal of Wild & Scenic is to showcase the Earth’s beauty, the challenges facing our planet, and the work that individuals and communities are doing to protect their environment. Through these films, Wild & Scenic both informs people about the state of the world and inspires them to take action.
Be a part of bringing the Wild & Scenic Film Festival to our state.
