Written by Los Altos Town Crier Report
The third annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival, jointly sponsored by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and Peninsula Open Space Trust, opened virtually last weekend and runs through
Friday.
This year’s free festival is a two-hour program featuring 14 award-winning short films, each running from two to 15 minutes. Centering on the environment, topics range from wildfire management to the culture of local Indigenous peoples.
“The films of the Wild & Scenic Festival this year combine beautiful cinematography and first-rate storytelling,” said Mark Medeiros, senior manager of community engagement at POST. “For this year’s presentation, we’ve selected works that we believe will inspire Bay Area film and nature fans to find ways to get involved and make a difference.”
