This block of films takes viewers on a journey from the grasslands of Florida to the forests of Yurok territory, from the microscopic world of insects to the expansive habitats of elephants. Each film showcases the dedication of individuals working to protect and understand our environment, while also highlighting the importance of diverse approaches to conservation.

The block emphasizes themes of resilience, traditional wisdom, and the interconnectedness of all living things. It demonstrates how small actions and shifts in perspective can have significant impacts on our understanding and preservation of the natural world

Thanks to our event sponsors Salty Raven, Columbia River Maritime Museum, International League of Conservation Photographers, Pro Photo Supply, Astoria Co-Op, Cannon Beach Book Company, and Tuff Puffin for helping us to bring these incredible films to Astoria!
