Sundance Film Festival Featuring Environmental Films
The Sundance Film Festival this year will be hosted in Park City, Utah on Thursday January 25th and be featuring 5 environmental films this year out of its total of 31. The committee deciding which films will be displayed at this year’s festival said that over 50 environmental films were submitted this year. This list of environmental films featured this year are:
It’s great to see that more filmmakers are making the environment the primary issue of their documentaries.
If it’s true, as they say, that independent film is a reflection of societal consciousness, then things might just be looking up for the environment.
Let’s hope the above statement is in fact the case and things take a turn for the positive for the environment. If anything, at least these films will allow the public to be more aware of some of the pressing environmental issues we are currently facing.
I have not seen any of these films yet, but I do plan on in the near future. If anybody has seen any of these documentaries, please share your thoughts on it.

There are usually some great films at the Sundance Film Festival. I kind of got sucked into BattleStar Galactica recently, so haven’t watched any movies lately and those all looked pretty interesting, specifically The End of the Line(TEOTL).
We really are pillaging our oceans right now, some countries worse than others. I think TEOTL covers a very important topic that needs more attention.
On a slightly unrelated note I have spent some time in Utah and there is some beautiful country there…
