The Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership (GGP) is pleased to announce its 10th Environmental Film Festival, scheduled for April 14 and 15 at The Springs Resort.
The GGP operates a not-for-profit education and demonstration site in Pagosa Springs’ downtown Centennial Park, and invites the community to celebrate its 10 years of partnerships promoting environmental awareness. The GGP’s Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) Caravan features nine films all about Colorado and chosen for Pagosa Springs viewers.
The Springs Resort will host the GGP’s film festival in the Phoenix Room and adjacent conference space.
For ticket information, visit the GGP website.
On April 14, the Premiere Gala will begin at 5pm. A catered, stand-up crepe buffet dinner and a discounted cash bar are included with a Premiere Gala ticket. The upscale evening features three films. Friday night wristbands allow guests to view films on Saturday as well.
Two film sessions are scheduled for that Saturday, April 15, with seating limited to 50 people at a time.
The first film session is 11am to 4pm. A second session is 5pm to 10pm. Both film sessions will include nine films new to Pagosa Springs, but currently making the rounds at environmental film festivals. Both seatings offer snacks and soft drinks. The second session features a discounted cash bar in the Phoenix Room.
The nine films slated for GGP’s film festival include CEFF award winners “Voices of the Grand Canyon” and “Right Here Right Now.” “Voices of the Grand Canyon” is the 2023 CEFF Best Short Film and tells stories of 11 Native nations in relationship with the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. The 2023 Best Youth Film award goes to “Right Here Right Now,” the story of young climate activists in Colorado Springs.
“Farm to Faucet” explores water in Colorado. Filmmaker and Pagosa resident Christi Bode Skeie will joins us for the April 14 Pagosa premiere of “Farm to Faucet,” giving guests an opportunity to discuss water and filmmaking.
Proceeds benefit GGP’s operations — “growing food and community with local energy.”
