Background:
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started in 2003 by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL). The 4-day event features over 125 award-winning films and welcomes over 80 guest speakers, celebrities, and activists who bring a human face to the environmental movement. SYRCL is now sharing their success with other organizations to bring the festival to over 100 communities nationwide. It is building a network of grassroots organizations connected by a common goal of using film to inspire activism. With the support of their National Partners, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Orion Magazine, Kleen Kanteen, and Sierra Nevada Brewing, Earthjustice, and Barefoot Wines, the festival is able to reach an even larger audience in tour venues coast to coast.
Sacramento On Tour:
Our Sacramento festival program is specially designed to address issues that are relevant to our local community, and will feature short films that look at themes of water conservation, sustainable development and energy, food and local agriculture, wildlife protection, environmental activism, and outdoor recreation. The event enjoys regular support from a network of other regional non-profit groups and sponsors. We continue to work to make this film festival a lasting and rewarding annual event for Sacramento, and to inspire our community to enjoy and protect our wild and scenic places close to home.
The Hosts and Benefit:
ECOS hosts this event in partnership with Save Our Sandhill Cranes, a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining open space habitat and to the conservation of the California Central Valley's Sandhill Crane populations through education, outreach, and community activism. The chosen beneficiary of all festival proceeds is the California Heartland Project, the regional conservation vision of Habitat 2020, the conservation committee of ECOS. The California Heartland Project seeks to create a connected network of parks, preserves, and conservation easements on working farms and ranchescreating access to open space for education and recreation, protecting the unique biological diversity found in the Sacramento Valley, and conserving our agricultural heritage.
