The 20th annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival will run in-person from Jan. 13 to 17 and virtually from Jan. 13 to 23.
The festival features more than 120 films including 13 world premiers. “A Fire for All” explains why there are mega-fires in the Sierra Nevada forest and how to prevent them. It is a 2-minute primer in understanding forest ecology and the long relationship with fire and humans.
Many mainstay elements will be offered, including workshops at the Earthjustice Activist Center, a virtual art exhibition, youth programs, virtual EnviroFair, filmmaker Q&A sessions after in-person screenings, as well as opportunities to interact with filmmakers and special guests. Venues for the in-person festival will be in Nevada City and Grass Valley.
Funds raised from the event support the league’s year-round work to protect and restore the Yuba River watershed. | wsff.eventive.org
