Calling all movie, film and environmental enthusiasts! Join us on Friday, May 31 at 6:30 p.m. for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival at Gateway Regional High School. It will be held in the Gateway Performing Arts Center (GPAC); donations will be accepted at the door to benefit the Gateway Education Foundation.

These award winning films will be projected through the newly installed high resolution projector and sound system, for a real cinema experience. Films take an in-depth look at ecosystems around the world. A total of 10 short films will be shown, including Blue Carbon (Benjamin Drummond, Sara Joy Steele) on climate change, Climbing Out of Disaster (Dominic Gill, Nadia Gill) about the aftermath of Hurricane Maria that hit Puerto Rico, and an animated film Meet The Real Wolf (Avela Grenier, Thomas Winston, Mike Phillips, Andy Hahn, Tammi Heneveld) which shows the wolf in an alternative perspective from the “big bad wolf” image humans are taught through stories and books.
