Join Tennessee River Gorge Trust when they host the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival On Tour at the Tennessee Aquarium on Friday, November 13 and Sunday, November 15, 2009.
“The films tell a story about our planet, highlighting issues, providing solutions and giving a call to action,” says Tour Manager, Susie Sutphin. “Their collective energy empowers communities to initiate conversations that can bring about compromise and collaborative efforts that positively impact our wild places.”
The film festival brings a community together. “Film is an artistic language that crosses political and social
Lesley Adams of Medford, OR. “Film is a wonderful medium with which to bring divergent interests together
around universal issues and discover that we have more in common than our perceived and historical differences
suggest.”
Friday evening’s films are geared toward a more mature audience with complimentary soft drinks, refreshments and a cash bar. Friday’s feature films include Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars, Homegrown Revolution, Renewal, and The Story of Stuff. Sunday’s family-friendly event includes refreshments, storytelling by Jim Pfitzer, and light-hearted and thoughtful films that will inspire children and adults including Goldfish, Once Upon a Tide, and Seed. To view film bios, please visit www.trgt.org.
At the conclusion of the festival on Sunday afternoon, sweet outdoor gear and adventure packages worth $600-$1,600 will be raffled off to six lucky winners through the “Gear Up for the Gorge” raffle, sponsored by the Trust and The Chattanooga Adventure Guide (www.advguides.com). $10 tickets are available NOW at www.trgt.org and will be available for purchase at the festival.
