Join your friends and neighbors for TILT’s Green Film Fest and Nature Photography Show! Doors will open at 5:00pm before the FREE children’s film, Leave It to Beavers, so that you may enjoy the nature photography displayed cabaret style, before the film begins at 5:30pm.  A growing number of scientists, conservationists and grass-roots environmentalists have come to regard beavers as overlooked tools when it comes to reversing the disastrous effects of global warming and world-wide water shortages. Once valued for their fur or hunted as pests, these industrious rodents are seen in a new light through the eyes of this novel assembly of beaver enthusiasts and “employers” who reveal the ways in which the presence of beavers can transform and revive landscapes. Using their skills as natural builders and brilliant hydro-engineers, beavers are being recruited to accomplish everything from finding water in a bone-dry desert to recharging water tables and coaxing life back into damaged lands.

Enjoy the nature photography for one more hour before you settle in for the second film,  Love Thy Nature, which begins at 7:30. An award winning film narrated by Liam Neeson, Love Thy Nature shows how deeply we've lost touch with nature and takes viewers on a cinematic journey through the beauty and intimacy of our relationship with the natural world. Love Thy Nature shows that a renewed connection with nature is key not only to our well being, but also to solving our environmental and climate crises. 

Tickets for Love Thy Nature are $5. TILT would appreciate advance reservations: Sign up here, call the office at 315-686-5345, or email [email protected].
