The Earth Day Film Festival 2020 Opening Event. "The Beaver Believers" by Sarah Koenigsberg.

About this event

Join us at the Gateway Science Museum for the opening event of the 2020 Earth Day Film Festival, Chico's own international film festival.

The Beaver Believers featured character Sherri Tippi, will present the film. Sherri will answers questions and share more on her story at the event. A unique opportunity to meet the people behind the lens and the activism.

The Beaver Believers shares the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists - a biologist, a hydrologist, a botanist, an ecologist, a psychologist, and a hairdresser - who share a common goal: restoring the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, furry little bucktoothed engineer, to the watersheds of the American West. The Beaver Believers encourage us to embrace a new paradigm for managing our western lands, one that seeks to partner with the natural world rather than overpower it. As a keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity, complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of climate change. Beavers can show us the way and even do much of the work for us, if only we can find the humility to trust in the restorative power of nature and our own ability to play a positive role within it. Shot in 8 western US states, Mexico, and Canada, through desert drought, raging wild fires, spring floods, and the peaceful calm of wetlands, this film will change the way you think about climate change and inspire you to take a bite out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.

This event is a co-production with Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and The Gateway Science Museum. Local Partners also include The Camp Fire Restoration Project.

The Earth Day Film Festival receives hundreds of films from around the world each year. 2020 is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day April 22nd, when our namesake event occurs with a curation of our best films being sent to hosts around the world. March 12 -19 is our flagship festival in Chico Ca. when we have a week of films, talks and workshops at the Pageant Theater, Gateway Science Museum and Chico Idea Fab Labs.
