Friends of Butte Creek and monca host the 11th Annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival
“On the Edge” November 10, 5-9 pm at
monca, Museum of Northern California Art 900 Esplanade
SPONSORSHIP REQUEST
Dear Friends, This year’s theme for the Wild and Scenic Film Festival On Tour, “At The Edge”, characterizes the status of Butte Creek’s endangered salmon. With a run of under 1000 fish, every stressor is significant. Friends of Butte Creek continues pursuing improved passage in critical reaches of the creek, increased flows, better temperature management, and a responsible party to take over the DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric project from PG&E. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is our only fundraiser to support these efforts. This year we are partnering with monca, Museum of Northern California Art, to benefit both organizations. Your donations will be split equally between the two organizations. You can help protect the salmon and help support the museum and the arts. There are films focusing on wild adventures, wild creatures, and wild spirit. We are offering an excellent cross section of stories, themes, issues and calls to action. We are seeking you, as a film sponsor, to have your name and logo in the film lineup, on the screen, and in all our publicity. We reach over 800 people on our Friends of Butte Creek member/mailing list and over 700 people on social media with our message. In addition monca has outreach to 2000 people. You can be a part of that. We hope there is something that catches your interest and supports your personal and public efforts to better our planet. We have a great many benefits offered to our sponsors and we are always seeking ways to improve your benefit from our program. Please consider joining in this 11th Annual Film Festival and help us make this event a better resource for educating the community about our place in the world and how we can work together to help. Look through this packet, find your level of support you are comfortable with, and make a pledge.
Thanks very much for your consideration and past support! Sincerely,
Allen Harthorn Executive Director Friends of Butte Creek

Film Line Up for Friends of Butte Creek & monca – Wild & Scenic Film Festival On Tour 2017
Fair Trade the First Step 13 mins. (Alex Lowther, Michael Malagon, Campbell
Brewer, Little Village Films) How is your clothing made? Patagonia’s new short
film investigates why choosing Fair Trade Certified clothing is an important first
step toward changing the garment industry.
Ace and the Desert Dawg 9 mins. (Brendan Leonard, Forest Woodward, Stefan
Hunt, Joe Peters, Max Lowe) For his 60th birthday, adventure photographer
Ace Kvale and his dog, Genghis Khan, set out for a 60‐day backpacking trip in
Utah’s canyon country. The pair tells the story of their trek, friendship, and
Genghis records it on his Desert Dawg Adventure Blawg.
Pangolin 13 mins. (Katie Schuler, Nick Rogacki) This is an intimate glimpse
into the journey of a single pangolin; from the moment it is taken from the
wild to its final destination in China. Filmed on location across three countries
with the help of reformed poachers and wildlife enforcement officers, the film
acts as a surrogate for an estimated hundred thousand pangolins that are
poached and smuggled annually throughout Southeast Asia and Africa. This film seeks to inform a broad
audience about pangolins and the illegal trade they are central to, in order to address the very real
danger that pangolins might be extinct before much of the world ever knew they existed. Filmed with
minimal commentary to be as immersive as possible, Pangolin offers audiences the opportunity
experience the life, death and afterlife of the most illegally trafficked mammal on the planet.
Boundaries 7 mins. (Neil Losin, Nate Dappen, Day's Edge Productions)
Humans construct boundaries around our homes, our neighborhoods, and
our nations to bring order to a chaotic world. But we rarely consider how
these boundaries affect other creatures. Meet conservation photographer
Krista Schlyer, who has spent the last seven years documenting the
environmental effects of the U.S./Mexico border wall, and biologist Jon Beckmann, who studies how
man‐made barriers influence the movement of wildlife. Schlyer and Beckmann have seen damaging
impacts of the border wall firsthand, but they remain optimistic. Humans probably wont stop
constructing walls and fences any time soon, but planning our boundaries with wildlife in mind can help
prevent these structures from causing environmental harm.
Plastico 9 mins. (James Q Martin) Beach communities around the world
suffer from an abundance of plastic that tragically ends up in the oceans at
an alarming rate over 8 million metric tons per year. Join the founders of
the Azulita Project, as they share information on how a small community is
making a difference.
Forget Shorter Showers 11 mins. (Jordan Brown, Derrick Jensen) Would
any sane person think dumpster diving would have stopped Hitler, or that
composting would have ended slavery or brought about the eight‐hour
workday; or that chopping wood and carrying water would have gotten
people out of Tsarist prisons; or that dancing around a fire would have
helped put in place the Voting Rights Act of 1957 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Then why now, with all
the world at stake, do so many people retreat into these entirely personal solutions.
The Secrets Held in Ice 14 mins. (Lo Fontimpe) Follow the adventure of
the pioneer glaciologist Claude Lorius who, in 1956, when he was still a
young student, left to study Antarctica. This extreme life experience
teaches him the principles of survival and solidarity, and reveals to him his
vocation: Claude will be a glaciologist. Convinced that the Antarctic ices
contain important information for the understanding of our planets climatic history, he will continue his
research without respite for three decades. Only then, does the ice reveal an unexpected message.
Red Wolf Revival 24 mins. (Roshan Patel, Nestbox Collective) This is the story of the last remaining wild population of red wolves. Centered on the historic recovery effort in Eastern North Carolina, the film documents the multifaceted struggle to reintroduce one of the rarest animals on earth in the face of cultural, economic, and biological challenges in North Carolina.
Pale Blue Dot 4 mins. (Chin Li Zhi) Set to the words of Carl Sagan, Pale
Blue Dot situates human history against the tapestry of the cosmos
through an eclectic combination of art styles woven seamlessly together
through music and visuals, seeking to remind us that regardless of our
differences, we are one species living on Earth.
The Elwha Undammed ‐ What’s a River For 25 mins. (Jeff Gersh, David
Fox, Diana Wilmar, Jan Mulder, Greg Bedinger) The Elwha River in Port
Angeles, Washington is the stage for the largest dam removal in
American history. A century ago, a businessman dammed the waters of
the Klallam people where 100‐pound salmon cast their shadows. Behind
the dynamite and bulldozers that erased Thomas Aldwell’s dream is a saga of competing ideas about the
purpose and meaning of a river.
Gorongoza 7 mins. (Neil Losin, Nate Dappen, Day's Edge Productions)
This is the story of Greg Carr and his involvement in the restoration of
Gorongosa National Park after its destruction from 30 years of war in
Mozambique. The film also features Princeton biologist Rob Pringle, who
does research in the park.
A Ghost in the Making 19 mins. (Neil Losin, Morgan Heim, Clay Bolt, Nate
Dappen) Everyone has heard about bee declines, but with so much attention
focused on domesticated honeybees, someone has to speak up for the 4,000
species of native bees in North America. Natural history photographer Clay
Bolt is on a multi‐year quest to tell the stories of our native bees, and one
elusive species the Rusty‐patched Bumble Bee has become his white whale.
