The Enrichmond Foundation, the Sierra Club – Falls of the James Group, the Capital Region Land Conservancy, and Viridiant will partner to present the Eighth Annual RVA Environmental Film Festival, which brings community awareness of environmental issues through the medium of film. The festival takes place at locations across Richmond. The week long event showcases local and national films that raise awareness of environmental issues relevant to the Richmond region, our nation, and our planet.
Viridiant’s staff recommends that you don’t miss “Happening: A Green Energy Revolution” on Sunday, February 18th at the Byrd Theatre. The film highlights innovators and entrepreneurs in communities across the country. It follows Jamie Redford on a journey to discover the current state of clean energy and see what lies on the horizon. The film reveals pioneering renewable-energy solutions that are making the potential future brighter than ever before, while underscoring notions of human resilience and social justice. This film is a great opportunity to learn more about the green energy movement to which EarthCraft builders, developers, and residents are supporting! Explore the full schedule of 2018 films below.
