Tales from the Planet

November 2nd, 2009 Molly

Tales from Planet Earth (TfPE) showcases environmental films from around the world in a three-day festival and several other community engagement events in Madison, November 6-8, 2009.  This free festival of environmental film takes place primarily around downtown at MMoCA and First United Methodist Church, and on campus at Memorial Union, and the UW Cinematheque.

The theme for this year’s festival is Justice and the films are organized through four primary strands:  Landscapes of Labor, Precious Resources, Strange Weather and In the Company of Animals.  All events are free to the public.  The complete schedule and map of theaters is available on the festival website.

Some films previously featured at the festival include Everything’s Cool, Flock of Dodos, MicroCosmos, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and The Return of Navajo Boy, all available at the library.
