Wild & Scenic Film Fest
The March 13, 2020 showing of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival has been rescheduled and will now be presented online from Friday, June 19 to Tuesday, June 23. Ticket holders will be emailed a link prior to June 19 and will then be able to view the films anytime during the 5 day period. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is a two-day event presented annually by the Evanston Environmental Association (EEA) and the city of Evanston. Different movies are shown on the two different Fridays of the festival. This is the festival's ninth year. It was initially held at the Evanston Ecology Center, but in more recent years has been presented at One Rotary Center to take advantage of the larger capacity of that building's theater. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is organized and produced by SYRCL (the South Yuba River Citizens League), and was started in part to help environmental organizations like the EEA grow their membership. The festival offers a line-up of the best in environmental and adventure short films covering a variety of topics relevant to those concerned about the future of our planet. 2020 Dates/Times
