Join us for an inspiring afternoon of film
SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental activism and a love for nature through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet.
The Film Fest
On Sunday, November 5, from 12 - 3 pm, IEC is bringing the On Tour festival to Des Moines' Varsity Cinema, featuring films that will spark conversation about creating a just, healthy environment and sustainable future for all Iowans. Iowa Outdoors host Kellie Kramer is back this year to host the event, including a panel of local Iowans discussing the issues in the films.
