The focus of our film program is to bring in relevant, professional environmental feature-length films to our audiences. Our feature films will be presented in rotation at the Hippodrome Cinema. Our goal is to raise enough funds to be able to offer these films as inexpensively as possible. We want to expand our reach beyond those people who generally turnout to similar screenings and provide open access to the citizens of Alachua County and beyond. Thanks to the support of many local groups and agencies, we are able to offer our films for just:

• $5 General admission
• $4 Senior Citizens, and Students
• $3 Children 12 years old or less
• VIP PASS – just $50 for one ticket to each of the 12 films, priority seating, tickets at “Will Call”.

Eco Fest – Saturday Celebration March 27th

Two hours of environmental films will be offered to the community at the outdoor Sun Center around the Hippodrome  in downtown Gainesville along with an environmental education fair, intergenerational and intercultural activities for all ages and performances at the weekend culmination of the 10-day festival. This eight-hour event will include participation by area environmental organizations who wish to connect with members of the public to share information about their projects and help them to get involved in helping to solve environmental issues.

Art Gallery Exhibits

Several prominent art galleries through the region will feature special exhibits of environmental-themed art work during our Environmental Film and Arts Festival week.

Learning Opportunities

For more information about participating, please contact us.

We will coordinate with local organizations and agencies to schedule a series of workshops and seminars throughout the week and before and after films to inform attendees about ongoing projects and how they can become involved in issues that interest and concern them. Experts will provide workshops on best green practices, local green opportunities, as well as workshops for using environmentally sustainable practices in our daily lives.

Exploring our Natural Resources

Alachua County and the greater Gainesville area is rich with natural beauty and protected areas. Outdoor specialists will plan activities and outings on Sunday to introduce participants of every age to the wealth of natural resources in our community to help inspire stewardship and a desire to help protect the quality and endurance of our wilderness, waterways and open spaces.  For more information about leading a trip or tour, please contact us.

Through this project we will draw together organizations, businesses and individuals who are working to address environmental issues and build partnerships between the arts, government, community and businesses to develop practices for sustainable living.

This project needs funding, sponsorships and collaborative organizations. Please let us know what you think and how you’d like to help!
