Film Series Event: Wild and Scenic Environmental Film FestivalAn Appalachian Summer Festival continues a three-year partnership with the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival, which is known for an artful blend of film, activism, truth and community. This year's collaboration showcases two, not-to-be-missed films that highlight our nation's stewardship of the environment. The National Parks: This is America (2009)Directed by Ken Burns & Dayton Duncan Filmed at some of America's most spectacular locales—from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades to the Gates of the Arctic—Ken Burns' landmark documentary explores the creation of America's National Parks. It is ultimately a story of people willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminding their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy. The film is a summary of the 12-hour, PBS series. Fresh (2010)Produced & Directed by Ana Sofia Joanes This award-winning film celebrates farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical and optimistic vision for the future of our food and our planet. The Magic of Motion Pictures Additional information:
