The 20th Annual Environmental Festival will take place March 13-25 on screens across DC. A celebration of the natural world, the festival will present 180 diverse and engaging films, including 93 Washington, D.C., United States and World premieres, from 42 countries. The Festival in the Nation's Capital was founded in 1993 and includes documentaries, features, animations and shorts, plus archival, experimental and children’s film at venues.
Films are screened at participating museums, embassies, libraries, universities and local theaters and are attended by large audiences. Most Festival films are accompanied by discussions with filmmakers, environmental experts and special guests, including national decision makers.
A centerpiece of the festival will be a retrospective of the work of Academy Award-nominated director Lucy Walker, who will screen her latest film, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom. She will receive the Festival’s Polly Krakora Award for artistry in film. The festival’s website is useful and informative throughout the year.
