About the Film Festival 

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is organized and produced by the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in Nevada City, CA. Their flagship festival is held annually in Nevada City and Grass Valley, CA and spans five days featuring over 100 films, workshops, visiting filmmakers and activist talks, family-friendly programs and art exhibitions. 

Land Trust of Virginia and Goose Creek Association are a part of the Wild & Scenic’s On Tour program along with 250+ environmental nonprofits, schools, museums, and businesses across the county. We have the honor of choosing from a diverse lineup of outdoor adventure, nature and environmental films from around the globe.  

While  these film events have been previously held live in a theater through the Wild & Scenic organization , in 2020 and 2021 this has become a 100% virtual event.  

FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAM FOR FRIDAY APRIL 9TH

24 Leeches (10 min): One part family adventure, one part environmental film, 24 Leeches is a tribute to a father’s best friend and adventure partner, his 10-year-old son. This film documents a family canoe adventure to the Slate Islands of Ontario, Canada and more importantly a way of life.

The Crown (4 min): In The Crown, thru hiker, veteran, and Merrell Ambassador Will “Akuna” Robinson completes the Triple Crown of Hiking: the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. This film shares Robinson’s thoughts on this incredible achievement that made him the first African American male on record to complete the Triple Crown of Hiking. Robinson is known within the hiking community for inspiring others to take their first step to get out on the trail and experience the power it brings.

Born From Junk (15 min): Tracing the outlaw roots of mountain biking back to its raw beginnings in Crested Butte, Born From Junk follows a crew of unlikely pioneers in pursuit of wild times in the mountains which then blossomed into a global phenomenon.

A Northern Light (13 min) The film A Northern Light follows Riverhorse Nakadate as he makes his way by canoe through endless miles of wilderness to celebrate the stunning and surreal lakes and forests, illuminate and juxtapose the serious and perilous threats at hand, and to show a deep poetic reverence to the last remaining places of incomparable beauty.

10 MINUTE INTERMISSION

Bring Your Own (3 min): Wild & Scenic Film Festival School Program, K-4th Grade: Inspired by the popular OMI song “Cheerleader”, this musical parody set to a student-written song, highlights the importance of ‘bringing your own’ in the fight against plastic pollution.

Chasing Ghosts (15 min) In their quest to identify the pollinator of the ghost orchid for the first time, a team of explorers, photographers, and filmmakers spent three summers standing waist-deep in alligator and snake-laden water, swatting air blackened by mosquitoes, and climbing to sometimes nausea-inducing heights. They came away with a startling new discovery – and an even deeper love for Florida’s wildest wetlands – revelations that may help to conserve both the endangered orchid and its shrinking home.

The Waters that Heal Us (8 min) This film follows a group of veterans from Washington, D.C. on a fly fishing trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Lead by the National Capital Chapter of Project Healing Waters, they learn to fish for trout and enjoy the therapeutic aspects of comradery and nature.​

Farmscape Ecology (27 min) Can farming and wildlife co-exist? Farmscape Ecology seeks to explore this question. A 1,500-acre research farm in New York’s Hudson Valley serves as backdrop of studies into soil, water, wildlife, and native meadows. The results may surprise you.

Check out some of the films from Wild & Scenic’s 2021 flagship film festival in this trailer…
