Environmental Film Festival (Burnaby) - October 2 & 3, 2008

Natural Connections (56 minutes)
This award-winning film underlines the importance of maintaining biodiversity, if we as a species want to survive and thrive on our home planet.  Check out this film as it introduces the concept of biodiversity with examples taken from rainforest, salmon streams, and marine ecosystems.

The Salmon Forest (52 minutes)
The Salmon Forest is a film which captures beautiful footage of a wonderful array of biodiversity within the Pacific Northwest rainforest. Being one of the most diverse and lush places on the planet, much of life here still remains secret and unknown.  This film reveals the fragile connection between spawning salmon and the health of the coastal rainforest.

The Story of Stuff (20 min.)
This fast-paced, fact-filled film looks at the underside of our production and consumption patterns.  It exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world.

Yukon Circles (27 minutes)
Yukon Circles is the inspirational story of how native people in Alaska and Canada joined together to protect the Yukon River.  The Yukon is the second-longest river in North America, but is threatened by pollution from military, mining, manufacturing and human settlement. Rather than blaming others, the tribes took responsibility for restoring their own lands, waters, animals and fish.

Too Hot Not to Handle (57 minutes)
A must-see film for everyone! A cautionary documentary that talks about and offers a very visual account of the effects of global warming. The mass consumption of fossil fuels, especially in America, over the past 100 years has contributed to the extremely dangerous warming of the earth.  Too Hot Not To Handle reveals what we can do now to help slow global warming.
