The inaugural SkyFire Environmental Film Festival is set to debut across the greater Phoenix area from March 27 through 29. The film festival combines powerful storytelling with community engagement to inspire environmental action across Arizona and throughout the world.
More than 150 films have been submitted to the festival by directors of all ages, backgrounds and parts of the world. The films’ subject matters are just as diverse as their directors and span topics such as climate action, food systems, waste reduction and community education. The finalists will be shown in venues across Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa, including the Arizona Science Center and the ASU Mix Center.
Organizers say that the activism shown on-screen will come to life on the streets of Arizona during the festival. Through public transit partnerships, zero-waste initiatives and service projects, SkyFire will be fighting some of the many environmental challenges Arizonians face every day.
