First Annual Gainesville Environmental Film and Arts Festival

Be educated, enlightened and entertained at any of the many events during the First Annual Gainesville Environmental Film and Arts Festival March 19 through 28.

A collaborative effort of the Hippodrome Theatre and www.GoGreenNation.org, the festival will include films and documentary screenings, forums, workshops, galleries and tours of natural resources—all raising awareness of environmental issues. On March 28, there will be a fair with area environmental organizations downtown.

“If you go to one of the films and come out feeling really concerned about an environmental topic—say, water—then there will be people who deal with water issues at the fair,” says Trish Riley, event organizer.
