The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is not just another film festival in a charming little mountain town — it’s a festival with a purpose. Borne as a project of SYRCL (pronounced ‘circle’), one of the most effective localized river protection groups in the country, the film festival is a gathering of storytellers and story-makers; a festival by activists and for activists. In just a few years, Wild & Scenic has become the largest and most energized environmental film festival in the United States.
We’re excited to have two films premiering at this year’s festival — The Greatest Migration and SPOIL: The Fight To Save Great Bear.
The Greatest Migration Teaser from EP Films on Vimeo.
Follow the journey of the critically endangered Snake River salmon from the coast of Alaska to Idaho’s Sawtooth Valley. These salmon migrate farther inland and higher in elevation than any other on Earth, along the way touching the lives of everyone and everything in the ecosystem.
Show times: Friday, January 14 at NC Elementary, doors at 6 p.m.; Saturday, January 15 at NC Elementary, doors at 12:45 p.m.; Sunday, January 16 at Odd Fellows, doors at 9 a.m.
SPOIL Film Trailer from EP Films on Vimeo.
The International League of Conservation Photographer’s adventure through the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia to support the coastal First Nations’ fight against a proposed oil export pipeline from the tar sands. In the challenge of just 10 days, these world famous photographers must capture the iconic wilderness and wildlife of this suddenly threatened landscape.
Show times: Saturday, Jan. 15 at the Nevada Theatre, doors at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday, Jan. 16 at NC Elementary, doors at 12:45 p.m.
And what’s a film premier without a party? Join us to Celebrate Wild Salmon!
Connecting ocean and forest in the Great Bear Rainforest and tackling an epic migration from Alaska to Idaho’s mountains, salmon are an integral piece of our cultures, ecosystems, food security and global economies. But to save them, we have to protect their habitat and restore migration corridors.
Join the filmmakers of The Greatest Migration and SPOIL for a beer and take action to protect wild salmon and the people, places and wildlife that depend upon them. Sierra Nevada brews, photo projections from iLCP and gear giveaways from Patagonia and Osprey Packs!
When: Saturday, January 15 — 5:30 to 7p.m.
Where: The National Hotel – 211 Broad Street, Nevada City at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival
Thanks for your support! We’ll see you there!
Hi,
I’m wondering how I can view the entire film “SPOIL: The Fight to save the Great Bear”?
Would someone please let me know where to find it?
Thank you.
