The festival will also feature two films from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River watershed: Cud, which presents the story of Will Harris, his dog Possum, and his eco-friendly cow operation in Early County, Georgia and Working the Miles, which tells the story of Johnny and Janice Richards’ careers catching and shucking oysters from Apalachicola Bay. Both films were made by the Southern Foodways Alliance, www.southernfoodways.com.
All screenings start at 7 p.m. There are two programs: Program I will be shown each Friday and Program II each Saturday. Each lasts one hour and 45 minutes. Please arrive early.
“The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival provides a fresh look at what folks in other parts of our nation have done to protect their home country. The films are funny, sad, amazing and practical.”
