After a two-year hiatus, the Citizens’ Environmental Coalition (CEC) is bringing The Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour, one of the largest environmental film festivals in North America, back to Houston for the 9th time.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour helps CEC spread the message about the wonders of the Earth, as well as the challenges facing our planet and the work that communities worldwide are doing to protect the environment. The two hours of short to medium length films range from inspirational celebrations of the beauty of nature to roadmaps of how individuals, organizations, and communities work together to successfully fight environmental destruction and restore nature. Some of the films are quirky; some are all too reality based. All will educate you about our world and actions that are being taken to protect it. 

For those who want to hear about how the issues illuminated by the films connect with environmental challenges in our own area, we will have a post-screening discussion with local environmental experts and advocates who will talk about their work and ways you can get involved to make a difference. 

Serving as a fundraiser for CEC, the festival is an important extension of the CEC’s efforts to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment. The CEC  is a non-profit organization, which serves a coalition of individuals and 100 + member organizations, fostering dialogue, education, and collaboration on environmental issues in the Houston/Gulf Coast region. The CEC connects individuals and organizations to create a stronger and united environmental community.  We see the films – whether they are gorgeous visuals of the Alaskan Tundra or a story of how various organizations and individuals came together to save the manatees – as a way to inspire activism and increase community understanding of the connection we share with the planet and our role as stewards in keeping it healthy for future generations. 

We are extremely excited to bring this festival back to Houston, and can’t wait to see the films with all of you and then discuss them with experts from some of our member organizations during the post-screening roundtable. We hope you can join us!
