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.

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.

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. 

 

 

Page 5: 2nd Annual Patagonia Wild and Scenic Environmentalbuttecreek.org/documents/Sponsor_packet.pdf · any sane person think dumpster diving would have stopped Hitler, or that composting

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.
