The CalTrout Film Festival is a celebration of the meaningful ways that people, water, and fish are intertwined.

We are thrilled to present this brand new event to you. The Festival’s selection of films focuses on stories about the unique ways people interact with land, how people protect the places they love, and how communities persevere in the face of adversity - with a healthy dose of fishing thrown in.

The CalTrout 2022 Film Festival is spread over two dates Dec. 6th & Dec. 13th, featuring different films at each. The event will be hosted at the art-deco cinema, the Lark Theater, in Larkspur, CA.

Choose to attend one or both of the shows - CalTrout will include a number of shorts about our work at each screening.

Joining us for the panel discussion and Q&A section of the events are Kate Green from Rivers Are Life on the film River of Angels, and Shane Anderson of Swiftwater Films/North Fork Studios on The Lost Salmon.

Purchase raffle tickets to win prizes drawn at the end of the night from CalTrout and sponsors.

THE LOST SALMON, a film by Shane Anderson (59 min)

"Of all the Pacific Salmon, the spring run of chinook is the most revered. As the first salmon to return home each year, they have always been a sacrament for the oldest civilizations in North America and the keystone of Northwest ecosystems.

Once occupying the most extensive range of any salmon species in the contiguous United States, many genetically unique populations of spring chinook have already been lost. Those that remain face a looming risk of extinction as habitat loss, short-sighted fisheries management, and climate change continue to take a toll on their numbers.

In The Lost Salmon, filmmaker Shane Anderson set out on a two-year journey across Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho to document some of the last wild “springers”, the historical and ongoing causes of their declining numbers, and their profound relationship to the people and places of the Pacific Northwest.

Along the way, Anderson tells the story of a recent scientific breakthrough that provides crucial new insights into salmon genetics and offers an important path forward to help save the king of salmon before they are lost forever." - swiftwaterfilms.com
