"Bringing award-winning films from around the region and around the world" The Siskiyou Project is proud to present the 5th annual Siskiyou Environmental Film Festival with more than twenty-five films that will explore environmental issues and showcase people who are making a difference. Each year for the past 5 years ago, the festival has brought together conservationists, indigenous speakers, and grassroots organizations under one roof to examine the critical issues facing our world. We invite you to attend this year's exciting presentation as we explore our world and see how people can make a difference.
Last year's film festival showcased:
Common Ground: Oregon's Ocean,Mardi Gras: Made in China (2005 Sundance winner),Last Journey for the Leatherback?,Go Further with Woody Harrelson,John Francis: Planetwalk Cuba Video and Talk. “Wildlife film makers know very well the alarming disappearance and destruction of habitat around the world that is causing what biologists refer to as the 6th major extinction period. As more and more of humanity moves to large urban centers, our connection with and need for nature becomes less obvious. There has never been a time when a conservation message is more urgently needed,” stated Dr. David Suzuki, geneticist, broadcaster and author. The Siskiyou Environmental Film Festival will showcase artistic, animated, feature and documentary films with ecological themes from around the world. By sharing these educational, thought provoking, and energizing films, in accordance with the educational mission of the sponsors, the festival will attempt to stimulate the intellect, arouse the emotions, inspire discussion and expand the viewer’s notion of what an “environmental” film might be. |
