IWFF Shorts Block 1: Conservation Stories
The Blackfeet Nation sts off on an unprecedented path towards the cultural and spiritual renewal of their people by returning free-roaming buffalo to the reservation after decades of absence (“Where We Once Roamed”). The longtime visitors of an untamed stretch of beach in Texas have their right to beach access curtailed when SpaceX takes flight (“Boca Chica”). Members of the band Par Avion are passionate fly-fishers advocating for the protection of California’s endangered Steelhead trout (“Don’t Doubt the Trout”). These are just a few of the inspiring, pressing stories in the “Conservation Stories” shorts block.
Screening includes a live Q&A session with the filmmakers!
