Our final film block of the festival focuses on hope, and on action. You will see the world through the eyes of a budding young entomologist, passionate conservationists, and ordinary people who become change makers as a form of resilience. This block ends with a "grand" adventure that takes us on a 1,000 mile journey driven by the love of one animal, ending right here in Astoria, where the river meets the sea.
Thanks to our event sponsors Salty Raven, Columbia River Maritime Museum, International League of Conservation Photographers, Pro Photo Supply, Astoria Co-Op, Cannon Beach Book Company, and Tuff Puffin for helping us to bring these incredible films to Astoria!
In "Heart of the Sea," Bermudian scientists, poets, and political leaders take us on a journey through the mysteries and wonders of Bermuda's oceans and the threats they face due to climate change. The film bridges past and present, delving into the island’s underwater shipwrecks, now teeming with marine life, then showcasing Bermudians doing groundbreaking science to protect marine ecosystems. These stories find their symbolic thread in the dance of the iconic Gombey, a cultural ritual forged by the island's diverse cultural influences. The Gombey guide us toward a vision for Bermuda's future: a future made up of thriving oceans, communities, and economies alike.
