The 11th Annual RVA Environmental Film Festival kicks off TONIGHT with the world premiere of the feature-length documentary Frozen Obsession, chronicling the expedition of the Swedish icebreaker Oden through 2,000 miles of the Arctic to study the impact of climate change. For even more insight into the findings of this amazing voyage, a panel discussion follows the screening with director and producer David Clark, Donglai Gong of Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and the VCU students who were part of this historic research trip.
Be sure to check out the full schedule for the festival, February 12th – 26th, at RVAEFF.org. Read descriptions and see the trailers of over 20 carefully selected films covering a wide array of environmental issues – 5th graders taking on plastic pollution; the benefits of regenerative agriculture; the impact of sea level rise on our national security; the quest of Native Americans for food sovereignty, and so much more!
