Celebrate Earth Day with CEFF

Thursday, April 18 @ Sie FilmCenter

Doors open @ 6:30pm, Films begin at 7:00pm

Join Colorado Environmental Film Festival and Denver Film as we celebrate Earth Day and follow the lives of six individuals from diverse backgrounds who have devoted themselves to a simple, age-old machine – the bicycle.

For the past century, our society has grappled with the unintended consequences of a car-centric culture. Through their struggles and challenges, witness how bicycles have the potential to transform lives and contribute to a better world. Special discussion with local experts from the film and around Colorado will immediately follow the feature film.

Get your tickets today and join the conversation! Doors open at 6:30pm to gather and grab a drink or snack before the films. Film screening begins at 7:00pm.

Sunday, April 21 @ Denver Botanic Gardens

Doors open at 1:30, Films begin at 2:00pm (Admission to the Gardens included with ticket)

Join CEFF for a special film screening in honor of Earth Day! The fate of the planet’s last untouched wilderness, the deep ocean, is under threat as a secretive organization is about to allow massive extraction of seabed metals to address the world’s energy crisis. Narrated by Jason Momoa, DEEP RISING is an up-to-the-minute tale of geopolitical, scientific, and corporate intrigue that exposes the machinations of a secretive organization empowered to greenlight massive extraction of metals from the deep seafloor that are deemed essential to the electric battery revolution. Enjoy a post-film conversation with Inland Ocean Coalition expert Mia Glover.

Admission to the Denver Botanic Gardens is included with each film screening ticket. Explore the spring blooming gardens before and/or after the screening. Please keep a record of your ticket available (printed or on your phone) as it will allow you to explore the Gardens following the film screening. The Gardens will close at 7 p.m.
