“Wow that was amazing; if I had realized it would be so fun and energizing I would have invited all my friends to come with me” a woman commented after last year’s Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival.

The festival finishes in time for you and your friends to go out to eat and ponder the ideas presented by the filmmakers.

 

FRWA is excited to once again collaborate with REI West Hartford to host the 2^nd Annual Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Hartford.
