Environmental Film Festival, Earth Day Weekend, Williamsport PA

We are in the final stage of preparations for the 2nd annual Billtown Film Festival in Williamsport PA, and the thematic focus this year, on Earth Day weekend, is the environment. We have a very eclectic mix of animation, live action, narrative and documentary styles. Please come and enjoy three wonderful evenings of creative, thought-provoking films.

In response to the heightened sensitivity of environmental issues facing our region, the Billtown Film Festival committee has selected films and videos that address the concerns of climate change, alternative energy technology, social and moral responsibility, and environmental sustainability. The films are artful, funny, poignant, profound, informative and entertaining.

While the audience is being seated the screenings will be preceded with 30 minutes of movie theme scores. Each night will be different, come out and enjoy all 3 shows!
