The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capitol
The Environmental Film Festival opens for its 16th year in
Washington, D.C. to play a role in addressing environmental issues
and challenges through the artistry of film. Illuminating some of
earth?s most critical environmental issues?the availability of
clean, fresh water, our energy future, the accelerating pace of
climate change and the environmental impact of war?the Festival
presents a broad spectrum of films that seek to inspire change in
our world. The program includes 115 films from 30 countries for 12
days in March. Twenty-seven filmmakers will be on hand to discuss
their films along with 86 environmental experts and special guests.
