The San Francisco Green Film Festival, the first of its kind in the City and on the West coast, arrives on March 3-6, it was announced today.
The four-day festival will be held in venues across from each other: the Landmark Embarcadero Center Cinemas and the Bently Reserve.
The festival will feature the West coast debut of the new Werner Herzog/Dmitry Vasyukov documentary 'Happy People: A Year In The Taiga'.
Other events include a live satellite Q&A with environmentalist/writer Margaret Atwood, and visiting filmmakers from around the globe.
The opening night film is 'Bag It', an award-winning film that will have its Bay Area premiere at the festival.
The closing night film is "The 4th Revolution: Energy Autonomy", directed by Carl A. Fechner.
In a statement addressing the importance of the historic debut festival, San Francisco Green Film Festival Founder and director Rachel Caplan said in part: "This amazingly diverse city has many film festivals but none that directly and solely address these issues and audiences."
