Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour

After hosting a sold-out showing in January 2015, the Citizens’ Environmental Coalition is bringing The Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour, one of the largest environmental film festivals in North America, back to Houston at 7 p.m. Wednesday, January 27-Thursday, January 28, 2016.

The festival consists of twenty-two short documentary films that speak to the environmental concerns and celebrations of our planet, covering topics ranging from adventure and the beauty of the great outdoors to grassroots efforts to combat serious issues.

Each night, eleven films will be shown including one created by local groups depicting local issues.

The Houston festival is a sampling of films from the 4-day festival held each year in Nevada City, California. That festival was started by the watershed advocacy group South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in 2003.

Tickets are per night and start at $13 for members who buy tickets in advance to $20 for general admission.
