Jim Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Join us on Sept. 23 at Patagonia Seattle and on Sept. 24 at the Northwest Film Forum for the Wild and Scenic Film Festival on tour – a selection of environmentally themed films produced by small, independent filmmakers from around the world. From the impassioned to the whimsical, festival films cover a wide range of subject matter from climbing expeditions in Africa, to sustainable farming in the United States, to surfing the Snake River. Friends of the Cedar River Watershed is hosting the festival and will share with you their Watershed Report – a survey of the Cedar River Watershed reported and produced by area high school students. They’re also holding an amateur photo contest. Tickets are $8 in advance; $10 at the door.
