We hear from festival CEO/Artistic Director Michael Cain and three film makers in this clip. The festival partnered with Current Energy to fund the competion's $10,000 prize. The films offer education on the environment and our place in it. How what we consume affects the environment. They show the caused by the exploitation of water, coal and other resources. The information in these films will change your perspective and make you think as you consume...
These documentaries show how we're destroying our environment...and how we can make it better. Four films were in the competition. The prize went to "Field of Fuel" by Josh Tickell. "Fields of Fuel" offers a hope filled plan on how to change US oil use and an insightful look at the oil industry.
"Burning the Future: Coal in America", by David Novack. Novack shows us the impact of coal in the US and reminds us that consumers, not industry account for the majority of coal consumption for electricity generation.
In "Flow: For Love of Water", Irena Salina examines the global water supply from the environmental perspective as while considering the impact of big business and human rights issues.
"Up the Yangtze", by Yung Chang examines the impact of the massive Three Gorges Dam on the Yantze River in China. He follows two young subjects and documents how the construction affected their lives.
