Wild & Scenic Film Festival Comes To Chincoteague Island
Chincoteague, VA Assateague Coastal Trust, a local environmental non-profit, will host the internationally recognized Wild & Scenic Film Festival at the Island Theatre in Chincoteague on Saturday, November 16th. Films start at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6 pm.
Advance tickets are now available for purchase at www.ActForBays.org/wsff-2019.
The WSFF focuses on films which both celebrate the splendor of our planet and speak to environmental concerns our Earth faces. Wild & Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental activism and a love for nature–through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet.
The event will bring 17 environmentally inspired films to the big screen, each with its own unique message, creativity, and cinematography.
Billy Weiland, ACT’s Communications Director, says that this year’s lineup stresses the importance of community engagement: “each fall, ACT and our board members convene to review a lineup of films. When we’re building our program, we are carefully choosing films that are relevant to the Eastern Shore and which convey a message that we feel will resonate with our community. Many of the films in this year’s festival spoke to the importance of community engagement in the face of challenging environmental issues. Music, literature, films, and the arts in general, I believe, reside as our most powerful tools to overcoming the social and environmental issues of today’s modern world.”
