The 2023 Earth Port Film Festival features eleven short films, ranging from 3 to 18 minutes, that tell engaging and inspiring stories of people in communities around the world impacted by and taking action to address the environmental challenges facing the Earth today. A pre-show reception with light refreshments begins at 5:30 PM and film screenings begin at 6. This year’s film selections include several genres — documentary, western, fantasy, animation-enhanced — telling stories from the US mainland, Hawaii, Honduras, Iran, France and Spain. The topics include agroforestry, preserving indigenous traditions, waste, climate activism and the relationship between humans and nature. Details about the films are available at www.earthportfilm.org. The Earth Port Film Festival is produced by NCMHub and Transition Newburyport.
