Wild & Scenic Film Festival Brings 5-Day Event to NorCal this Week
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is returning to Northern California this week with a 5-day event in Grass Valley and Nevada City from January 16 – 20th. The event includes a robust schedule featuring 100+ films, workshops, visiting filmmaker and activist talks, family-friendly programs, art exhibitions and parties.
The event, being held in the area by the South Yuba River Citizens League, was created to inspire environmental activism and a love for nature–through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet. This event sits as the largest annual fundraiser for the South Yuba River Citizens League, which raise funds and awareness to recover California’s wild salmon and protect the Yuba River watershed.
The massive selection of films being featured at the event present a who’s-who of environmental filmmaking across the globe. And some films even feature Northern California stories:
After the Fire features residents of Sonoma Valley as they struggle to find their places in a community that has been reshaped overnight by the historic Northern California wildfires. Here is the trailer:
Hat Creek: A Wild Trout Legacy highlights how passionate anglers could come together to restore a stream and bring back an iconic fishery. More than that though, on Hat Creek a new concept for wild trout management was embraced – the idea that we can do without hatchery fish, that the ethic of catch and release is good for fish and anglers alike, and the idea that having a controlled set of regulations focused on wild trout could be successful. See the trailer:
Here are some more films highlighting NorCal:
