The water and blufs of the Mississippi River surround us and hold our city in Mother Nature’s arms. By celebrating our 10th year of ofering documentary flms to entertain, engage and educate you, we are reafrming our mission and community support that brought us this far. We have many excellent flms and speakers scheduled, as diverse a selection as you will fnd anywhere in the Midwest. The theme of “Sustainability” this year highlights not only the ecological mandate of healthy biological systems, but also the human endurance necessary to create change in systems and processes that threaten our future existence. Your presence here, to observe and possibly be inspired to pursue change is the best celebration we can ofer. So join us all over the City of Winona in flm venues, taverns, restaurants, universities, museums, Q & A’s and lively discussions, all on the Frozen River banks. I would like to thank our sponsors and community members that support the Festival experience through their gifts and involvement. The partnership of Winona State University continues to be the foundation to our success. The local, State and National grants and funding opportunities we seek each year help us to support our budget. Our many volunteers are eager to help organize, promote and assist with all the work and fun that results from the Festival. For that we are truly blessed. Your presence here is a result of our best eforts, please enjoy the community, the flms, the opportunity to interact with the flmmakers as well as the other audience members, the food, the social events and please give us your feedback about our eforts. Together we can all support and encourage the work of independent flmmakers. Be sure to come and celebrate our decade of success at the Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening. See you there!

  • Assessing the Science
    FAMILY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY • SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING FAMILY Is there a scientific evidence base demonstrating that the use of family planning contributes to environmental sustainability? This report explores that question based on a two-year collaborative review of more than 900 peer-reviewed research papers from around the world published from 2005 through early 2016. No scientific discipline systematically examines or confirms the influence of voluntary family planning on environmental problems. Looking at pathways that lead through the slowing of population growth and the empowerment of women, however, the Family Planning and Environmental Sustainability Assessment (FPESA) found a wide-ranging literature generally affirming that this influence is both real and constructive. FPESA identified considerable evidence supporting—and very little refuting—the statement that the practice Family Planning and of voluntary family planning promotes environmental benefits and that expanding access to it can help bring about an environmentally sustainable world that meets human needs. The diversity of researchers interested in the family-planning connection to the environment is high, the report also concludes. Environmental Sustainability: The report features the project’s findings, perspectives on major related issues by eight authors, and an annotated bibliography containing assessments of 50 of the most compelling papers relevant to the linkage. ASSESSING THE SCIENCE ASSESSING Assessing Through research and outreach that inspire action, the Worldwatch Institute works to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world that meets human needs. The Institute’s top mission objectives are universal access to renewable energy and nutritious food, expansion of environmentally sound jobs and the Science development, transformation of cultures from consumerism to sustainability, and an early end to population growth through healthy and intentional childbearing.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes.

Your journey starts here, with the summer assignment, which is designed and implemented for a few valuable reasons: 1.
