Blog: On Screen in Ithaca

• Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival

Spring is here, and so is Ithaca's annual Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF)! Now in its second decade, FLEFF promises -- and always delivers -- a week-long smorgasbord of multimedia arts events, including digital art exhibitions, special festival minicourses, silent films with live music, installations, new media and community forums.

At the heart of the festival are films, of course: exciting, provocative, and often groundbreaking films from all over the world. Screened from morning until night all over campus and at cinemas downtown, these films, say the festival's directors, "reboot the environment and sustainability into a larger global conversation, embracing issues ranging from wars, health, diseases, music, digital arts, cinemas, popular cultures, fine arts, experimental media, literature, economics, archives, AIDS, women’s rights, and human rights." 

See for yourself. Pull up a chair and watch as we show you trailers from 14 films featured at FLEFF!
