Sustainable Community Film Series

Event date: This event has already passed.

The Sustainable Community Film Series raises awareness and encourages community dialogue about environmental issues afflicting our world through award-winning independent featured films. This year Walking Mountains will continue to provide films at two locations for the entire series. The 1st Tuesday of every month at Loaded Joe’s in Avon and 3rd Tuesday of every month at Dusty Boot in Eagle. Showings start at 6:30pm. No reservations required, just show up!

February’s two short films are: The Burden and Nature’s Orchestra. The Burden is the first documentary of its kind to tell the story of our dependence on fossil fuels as the greatest long-term national security threat confronting the U.S., and how the military is leading our transition away from oil. The troops are crying out to unleash us from the tether of fuel. Click here to view the trailer.

Nature’s Orchestra follows Bernie Krause on a soundscape expedition in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. To record habitats that are neither disturbed nor destroyed by human activities, nature sound recordists have to travel far. Along with animal voices, including migratory bird songs, the barking of a fox, and a grizzly’s sniff, the expedition records the melting of permafrost and other evidence of climate change.
