Building a Resilient Community, a Film Festival in Salida
Join GARNA for a curated selection of films from the Colorado Environmental Film Festival, alongside a local short film made right here in Chaffee County! Centered around the theme Building a Resilient Community, these inspiring films were specifically chosen to show that there is tangible hope and active work we can do right now to improve our local environment, while serving as a powerful model for other rural communities to follow.
Our local showing of CEFF is sponsored by Working Films, OG Consignment, Mountain Aspect Landscape Architecture and Waste Management. A huge thanks to these sponsors!

Film Playlist:
A Reason for Hope
A short documentary focused on the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and how one community is embracing the change and showcasing how to integrate renewable energy into the classroom,
Lead it Go
Lead it Go follows hunter and conservationist Chris Parish’s mission to prevent lead poisoning in wildlife. This film is timely with the new executive order allowing lead ammo in waterfowl hunting (against the USFWS ban).
The Light Won’t Dim
The Light Won’t Dim explores the promise and urgency of solar power in a time of climate crisis in places like Puerto Rico, Colorado, New York City, and New Hampshire.
To Know a Place
An intimate look at the connection between place and identity, this film is a meditation on time and the intergenerational experience of change.
The Girl and her Piano
A poetic and urgent short documentary that follows 12-year old pianist and narrator Hillary O’Sullivan’s remarkable journey to 4,000 meters above
sea level in Bhutan, where music becomes both witness and voice for a planet in crisis.
