Founded in 2015, the Taos Environmental Film Festival was established to transform and educate the public with film screenings, environmental activities, public discussions and artworks that highlight the existential crisis and environmental issues facing humanity and our earth’s biodiversity. It engages the community with hope and awareness plus promotes public involvement. It also includes an outreach to schools with special film screenings for students.
The film festival strives to broadcast Taos’ contributions of ecological architects, solar or electric car renewables plus the Taos Pueblo culture, which has always honored our land. Finally, it shines a light on the stunning landscapes of Taos County that includes New Mexico’s highest, snowcapped peaks and the precious waters of the Rio Grande.
The planet is undergoing great stress. Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and Spirit are all communicating to us. An informed public makes all the difference in the world as each individual wields real power in making their voice heard — in making significant changes towards the survival of the climate: it’s resources and biodiversity; it’s realm of species and peaceful undertakings.
