A festival of films by activists for activists, Patagonia's Wild and Scenic Film Festival was born from an effort to save the Yuba Watershed in California. The South Yuba River Citizens' League (SYRCL) banded together to protect their river, and succeeded in having it permanently protected as a Wild and Scenic resource. Energized by their success, they created this environmental film festival to inspire and encourage local activism throughout the country. This evening, 11 short films ranging from two to 29 minutes in length will include documentaries revealing the impact of industry, touching stories of unlikely relationships born from a common cause and stunningly beautiful cinematography—all of which will inspire your inner environmentalist. An Appalachian Summer Festival is pleased to welcome the return of Patagonia's Wild and Scenic Film Festival, which first delighted and inspired festival audiences in 2008.Visit www.appsummer.org./ for more information
