Starting today and continuing until October 16th, the Planet in Focus Film Festival is Canada’ international environmental film and video festival. Now in its 12th year, the Festival promotes environmental artistic expression in film, video and new media mediums in an effort to “frame and explore environmental and ecological issues as a catalyst for awareness, discussion and engagement.” In addition to highlighting films which celebrate the environment, science and activism, the Festival features workshops for youth and seeks to transform environmental education.
