Tales From Planet Earth

is a three-day festival showcasing environmental films from around the world. The second edition of the festival will be November 6 - 8, 2009. Visit the Tales From Planet Earth website for further updates about the program.

This journey across the globe explores how stories told through film shape our understanding of nature and inspire action on behalf of environmental justice and the diversity of life. All festival events are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Donations help support the festival and are accepted at the door.

From travelogue-expedition films to the experimental avant-garde, from the worlds of Walt Disney to those of Jacques Cousteau, cinema has been central to how we see, think about, consume, and politicize nature in the past, present, and future. Tales From Planet Earth offers a unique opportunity for audiences to watch, reflect on, and discuss the power of film as a force of environmental change.
