Film Line Up

Lowcountry Local First - "Meet Your Farmer" – Meet Your Farmer is a series of four short profiles of farms in Maine. Produced for Maine Farmland Trust, an organization that works to preserve farmland in Maine for farming use, the films offer a glimpse at the many different types of farms in the state.

SC Aquarium –"Change for the Oceans" - Free Range Studios created this 3D animation for Monterey Bay Aquarium’s campaign to raise public awareness about the impacts global climate change is having on ocean life. We can slow the climate crisis by making little changes on our own and big changes together.

Earth Force – "Willem & the Whales" - Willem is 5 years old and has a lot on his mind! Take a quick journey through the eyes of a child as Willem explains why people should stop whaling.

"Brower Youth Awards – Misra Walker" - Earth Island Institute established the Brower Youth Awards to honor founder and legendary activist David R. Brower. The awards recognize six young people in North America annually for their outstanding activism and achievements in the fields of environmental justice advocacy.

Coastal Conservation League – "Wildwater" – Journey into the mind and soul of whitewater, into the places only river runners can go, places of discovery, solitude and risk. Meet the riverpeople from multi generations who share a deep passion for wild places, rivers and running whitewater.

Southeastern Wildlife Expo – "Witness" - Notable anthropologist Jane Goodall, National Geographic Editor-at-Large Michael Nichols, and International League of Conservation Photographers president Cristina Mittermeier, among many others, share candid thoughts on the power of photography and its value as an effective conservation tool.

USGBC – "Better Bones & Gardens" – Dan Phillips and Kipp Nash are remaking the common house and garden in wildly imaginative ways. They use cattle bones, wine corks, DVDs, and bottle caps as building materials, and lawns are transformed into lush, nutritious gardens.

Charleston Green Fair – "The Majestic Plastic Bag" – Follow a plastic bag from supermarket to its final migratory destination in the Pacific Ocean gyre. Jeremy Irons narrates this mock nature documentary.
