RENEWAL is an official selection of the 7th annual Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival, January 9–11, 2009. And it is part of the post-Festival tour that in coming months will visit more than 70 cities across the nation.
WSEFF is the largest environmental film festival in the United States. It distinguishes itself from others with its focus on inspiration and motivation – encouraging people to go out and make a difference in their community and the world.
This is a festival for activists by activists. The event is organized and hosted by the South Yuba River Citizens League. For 25 years this grassroots environmental organization has been bringing the community together around the protection of the Yuba Watershed.
Here’s what the festival says about itself:
“At the festival, you’ll LEARN new ideas from a selection of inspiring environmental films with hardhitting topics including bioengineering, water issues, wilderness preservation, citizen activism, and more. You’ll EXPERIENCE the adrenalin of kayaking the wildest rivers, climbing the highest peaks, and trekking across the globe with adventure films around the world. You’ll EXPLORE the issues and movements with leading environmental activists and professionals, filmmakers, and celebrities. And you’ll CELEBRATE the natural and wild world with 9+ venues of films and workshops, children's Saturday morning cartoons, art shows, wine tastings, VIP parties, and awards ceremony.
All this and more at the largest (and most unique!) film festival of its kind in the US and in one of the most charming towns in the Sierra Nevada, NEVADA CITY, California.”
