FILM FESTIVAL NEWS: Richard Paradise's brand new Boulder Environmental/Nature/Outdoors Film Festival will debut July 10-13

Richard Paradise’s brand new Boulder Environmental/Nature/Outdoors Film Festival (Boulder E/N/O FF) today officially announced their Call for Entries ahead of the summer debut of a film festival and event which will celebrate the natural world around us – the ocean, land ecology, and the air we breath.

Boulder ENO Film Festival will take place at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, Colorado (2590 Walnut Street) on July 10-13.

Created by Richard Paradise, the Founder and current Executive Director of the popular Martha’s Vineyard Environmental Film Festival, the Boulder E/N/O Film Festival will strike a balance between films, panels, and events focused on the environment and how we all exist within our world’s ecosystem, with films that celebrate the undeniable beauty of the “outdoors” and sports that bring us closer to mother nature through those entertaining and oftentimes thrilling activities.

Paradise said, “We’re looking to deliver a film festival that will offer feature-length and short films selected via submissions as well as those drawn from top-notch film festivals from around the world. Boulder E/N/O FF will also be unique both in it’s joining of the environmental documentary and the outdoor sports film. We feel that putting those films side-by-side will help provide a different overall perspective throughout the fest’s four-day schedule, allowing us to discuss the dire issues facing our environment while equally celebrating our embrace of nature via our interactions with it.”

Paradise also emphasized that “the films are just the beginning,” as the film festival will feature guests from the world of film, media, science, outdoor sports, and the art world, to all participate in Q&As following screenings and special panel discussions as well.

Boulder E/N/O FF will also celebrate an individual with its Boulder E/N/O Visionary Award, which will honor an individual for their commitment and efforts to further the discussion regarding the state of our environment with an eye toward offering solutions to the myriad of challenges we face in our efforts to sustain it and care for it.
