Join UW-Milwaukee Outdoor Pursuits and the River Revitalization Foundation for this year’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival!
Date: Thursday, November 7th
Location: Oriental Theatre
Time : Wild Child family films 4:30pm
Outdoor Expo 6-7pm. *Door prizes and giveaways!
Main Event 7-9pm
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. This unique film festival works with environmental groups across the globe to outreach into their communities and bring together a diverse audience that is inspired toward conservation and sustainable recreation. Hosting this film festival is a joint effort between the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Outdoor Pursuits and the River Revitalization Foundation. These organizations hope to use the festival to increase a better community understanding of the connection we share with the planet and our role as stewards to keep it healthy for the next generations.
If you choose to contribute at the ticket price of Student Scholarship Supporter ($20), your extra funds will go directly to a student scholarship that provides better access to outdoor programs for UW-Milwaukee students that would otherwise struggle to participate in outdoor recreation. Any additional revenue generated from this event is split between the UWM student scholarship fund and the River Revitalization Foundation’s Riverine-terns program that provides several youth with work experience and educational opportunities each summer.
This film festival promises to be a night to remember, full of motivating and inspiring films based in wild and scenic places!
Don’t miss WILD CHILD, our family film series that plays earlier, and the outdoor expo that will occur in the lobby from 6-7pm!
