The 2021 Visions of Nature/Voices of Nature Environmental Film Festival lineup has finally been announced at https://www.environmentalfilmfest.com/! This year, due to COVID-19, we are holding a smaller than usual version of the festival. We will show one film outdoors on campus, only for those approved to be on campus. We will also host one film for streaming during the festival only, and are recommending a film that is available for streaming anytime. We hope to be back in the Miller Auditorium for a full festival lineup next year!
