Our environmental film series offers a rich spectrum of documentary and fiction films that demonstrate cinematic artistry, new perspectives and fresh information about nature and our place in it.
Rather than the "Climate for Change" banner we used to present last year's sidebar (with its dominant theme of global warming and peak oil) this year's program is called The Ark: Elements and Animals . The series is highlighted by films that explore the fate of our most precious element - water - and by films that allow us to reflect on our historical co-existence with animals. The ethics of sharing the planet with many other orders of being and the lines between domestication and wildness have never needed to be better understood. These films will both charm and provoke a lot of discussion.
