Wild & Scenic Film Fest 2016 – BUENA VISTA

March 5, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Wild & Scenic Film Fest 2016The Greater Arkansas River Nature Association and Land Trust of the Upper Arkansas have led the way in bringing environmental films to the Upper Arkansas Valley. The two organizations are again partnering to bring the Wild & Scenic Film Fest 2016, a world-renowned tour of the latest, cutting-edge environmental films, to Buena Vista on Saturday, March 5 at the Buena Vista Community Center and to Salida on Saturday, March 12 at the Salida Steamplant Theater.  The two events will benefit GARNA and LTUA and includes environmental and adventure films with unique films shown each night. Both evenings promise an “incredible selection of films to change your world.” Considered one of the nation’s premiere environmental and adventure film festivals, this year’s films combine stellar film making, beautiful cinematography and first-rate storytelling.

Buena Vista film highlight: AINA – That Which Feeds Us. The global story of AINA is told from the little Hawaiian island of Kauai, where two of the most extreme versions of agriculture on Earth are represented. On one side, is a traditional ecological system that has allowed Hawaiians to live in abundance for over a thousand years. On the other side, four of the worlds largest agro-chemical companies use the island to spray an estimated ten tons of pesticides every year on genetically modified test crops, poisoning the fragile island environment, local community, and ultimately the consumers of products made from this industrial model.
