Wristbands are on sale this week for GGP’s 2022 Environmental Film Festival on Saturday, April 16, at the Tennyson Event Center, from 2pm to 8pm. A wristband allows each guest to come and go during the Film Fest.
Each $20 wristband allows you to come and go from GGP’s 8th annual film festival. Guests will enjoy four first-run feature-length films and two shorts, all fresh from the 2022 Colorado Environmental Film Festival… plus a locally grown gourmet supper, catered by local favorite Chef Kathy Keyes of Pagosa Baking Company.
Seating is limited. Visit www.pagosagreen.org to purchase your wristbands today.
Four first-run, cutting-edge feature films, to be viewed and discussed are “Reflections: A Walk with Water,” “In My Backyard,” “12th Hour,” and “Nature’s Big Year.” Two short films, both by Colorado film makers, focus more locally – “Lynx: Shadows of the Forest” and “Soil Care is Climate Repair.”
WATER, FOOD, and BIODIVERSITY are the three themes of the 2022 festival, each of paramount local importance. Three exhibit tables will feature GGP’s educational partners, organizations that share GGP’s values and environmental education mission.
Local water advocates will engage with guests at the WATER exhibit table. Growing Water Smart, Watershed Enhancement Partnership, San Juan Water Conservancy District, and Friends of the Upper San Juan work locally to conserve our water supply, protect our water quality, and teach wise use of our most precious natural resource – water.
Featured at the FOOD exhibit table will be Pagosa Springs Farmers Market, Food Coalition and Healthy Archuleta, and Colorado State’s Grow and Give project. Fresh from the Food Summit on April 9, these organizations continue to promote local food production and food equity.
Weminuche Audubon Society, Audubon Rockies, and Southwest Colorado Environmental Educators will staff the BIODIVERSITY exhibit table. Guests can engage with the creators of Hershey Memorial Native Plants Garden on the GGP site in Centennial Park. Members of Pagosa Wetlands Partners can invite guests to learn about the rich biodiversity of our local flora and fauna featured in their educational walks from the GGP Amphitheater downstream along the River Walk. Copies of the legislated Colorado Environmental Education Plan will be available at the Biodiversity table.
GGP’s Film Festival kicks off the 2022 Earth Day celebration. Pagosa Springs’s Earth Day, organized by Southwest Organization for Sustainability, will take place along Centennial Park’s River Walk is Saturday April 23.
