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, VIP parties, live music and more.
