Wild and Scenic Film Festival

With the Wild and Scenic environmental film festival coming up in March, now is the time to start preparing by working on creating the poster for this years festival and going through movie trailers for the different choices for films that will be chosen this year.  It is difficult, because there are many choices and only a limited amount of time.  The film festival will be split up into two days, each lasting about an hour and 30 minutes and containing a feature film and a few shorter films to accompany it.  We are choosing which movies to feature out of a list of about 55 films, ranging from about 5 minutes long to lover 100 minutes long.  The films are covering current widespread environmental issues such as global warming, climate change, sustainable agriculture and growth, and the contamination of our oceans.  All of the videos contain powerful and sometimes startling facts and people who are passionate about making a difference in the environment.  Narrowing the selection down to a few that can fit within our time frame is difficult, but some stand out more than others. The ones that caught my attention the most are some of the longer, higher budget films that may not be possible to fit into the two days and the time frame that we are given, but below I have listed a few of my favorites so far.  If you have any ideas as to which subjects should be featured and which movies you prefer, let me know what you think!
