Wild & Scenic Film Festival
Wild & Scenic is a film festival with a purpose, bringing together storytellers and stories that reflect a love and appreciation of the natural world. The evening will feature a series of short award-winning environmental and adventure films from around the world. Festival-goers will see 11 short films about nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, indigenous cultures, and more. These films illustrate the Earth’s beauty, yet show the challenges facing our planet and the communities working to protect it.
The evening’s emcee is Bill Lucey, the Long Island Soundkeeper with Save the Sound. The festival’s special guest is Pete Malinowski, founder of the Billion Oyster Project, a nonprofit organization on a mission to restore oyster reefs to New York Harbor through public education initiatives. Malinowski is featured in the festival’s anchor film, “The Big Oyster.” He will discuss the film with Bill Lucey and the audience after it is shown.
Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. for a reception of light food, beer and wine before the show. Films begin at 7:00 p.m. There will be an intermission with refreshments during the show. Tickets are sold online only.
