RiverFlix
Film Series
The Apalachicola Riverkeeper's
mission is to provide stewardship and advocacy for the
protection of the Apalachicola River and Bay, its tributaries and watersheds, in order to improve
and maintain its environmental integrity, and to preserve the natural scenic, recreational and
commercial fishing character of these waterways.
We show environmental and adventure films to illustrate the Earth’s beauty, the challenges
facing our planet, and the work other communities are doing to protect the environment. Our
goals, through the power of film, are to both inform people about the state of the world and
inspire them to take action. The RiverFlix Film Series also raises resources and awareness for the
Riverkeeper’s initiatives to protect the Apalachicola River and Bay.
Wild and Scenic
Environmental Film Festival on Tour
 For 2010, the Apalachicola Riverkeeper is hosting the Wild and Scenic Environemental Film
Festival (WSEFF) on Tour. The WSEFF is the largest environmental film festival in the U.S.
The event is organized and hosted by the South Yuba River Citizens League. For 26 years this grassroots environmental organization has been bringing their community together around the
protection of the Yuba Watershed.
The festival tour brings together the best of the home festival’s films. With a growing public
awareness for the environment, the festival aims to increase this groundswell through inspiring
and educational films which hopefully will motivate people to go out and make a difference
in their community and around the world. Whether it is the struggle for environmental justice,
information on renewable energy or an educational tale about an endangered species, the films
expose people to forward-thinking ideas and global awareness. The films not only highlight
concerns but provide solutions, reaching people through beautiful imagery.
