Considered the largest film festival of its kind, this year’s films combine stellar filmmaking, beautiful cinematography and first-rate storytelling to inform, inspire and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation.  Festival-goers can expect to see Award-winning films about nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, agriculture, and Native American and indigenous cultures.  Plus enjoy children’s Saturday morning cartoons, art shows, gala parties, live music and more.

Tickets go on sale the beginning of December.  Festival passes make excellent gifts for those “progressive and sophisticated film and outdoor enthusiasts committed to living a more sustainable lifestyle” in your life.
