It’s Elemental.Īs part of the environmental justice movement, the diversity of people both on-screen and behind the camera has been of utmost importance to us since launching in 2011. People are banding together with the knowledge that change isn’t just necessary. Yet rather than projecting a grim outlookįor our future, these are powerful tales of inspiration and hope, of people who are rising up to protect their land, forests, water, and air, and to fight for their environmental justice. ![]() We’re sharing the world’s most urgent stories, and from the Wine Country wildfires (Wilder Than Wild) to vanishing islands in the Pacific (Anote’s Ark) and the melting Arctic tundra (Genesis 2.0), we can clearly see all of the elements pushing back at us (The Human Element). We’re bringing you films & discussions structured around the four elements - earth, water, fire, and air - and exploring how they are creating multifaceted perspectives on climate issues. The Summit also sparks new collaborations - look inside for details of our events with COAL + ICE, Exploratorium, and YBCA.Embracing this global moment of flux, our 2018 Festival theme is It’s Elemental. With the planet heating up, environmental protections at risk, and political forces in flux, there has never been a more urgent moment to come together and share stories and ideas for action. This year, our Festival moves to the Fall to align with the hub of crucial environmental discussion happening at San Francisco’s Global Climate Action Summit, involving thousands of leaders and delegates from countries around the world. Join us on our annual journey to the world’s environmental frontlines, with a week of over 50 new films and more than 100 guest speakers,ĭiscussions, and special events that spark green ideas and connections.
