Welcome to the Earthx2020! The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Welcome to the Earthx2020, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. A season of global impact to heal our planet, where we come together to shine a light on the critical issues facing all of us. This year, our EarthX events are a virtual experience instead of a live event due to COVID-19 impacting our ability to gather in large groups. Undaunted, EarthX brings together a congregation of leading voices in environmental conservation.

The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day demonstrates the ability for change: The Clean Air Act to The Clean Water Act and much, much more. Yet, there is still more to do.

Our live event for the last ten years has grown significantly. EarthX, last year, hosted over 177,000 attendees, over 700 exhibitors, 500 speakers, ten conferences, film festival and interactive experiences to heighten your “senses” to the wonderful planet we inhabit.

This year we “pivoted” to bring EarthX to millions across the globe. Five days of livestreaming presentations, conferences, our signature film festival and even virtual and augmented reality.

A significant partnership was forged this year: National Geographic Society, known for their legacy, reputation and Explorers who will join us during our virtual program.

During the virtual event, you will hear from environmental luminaries from across the globe: Robert Redford, Paul Watson, National Geographic Explorers Enric Sala and Sylvia Earle, Senators Steve Daines and Cory Gardner who co-sponsored the Great American Outdoors Act, Representative Bruce Westerman, Jeff Corwin, Karenna Gore, Xiye Bastida, Jane Fonda and many more.

Another way to engage with the EarthX community is to join the EarthxLeague. This amazing platform connects you with a knowledge base of information and stories about how people and organizations are working to create a sustainable world for all of us. You will meet others who share your passion and focus on environmental education and awareness.

Join us for the 10 days of virtual inspiration, learning, and sharing ways with each other to protect the planet. Your involvement matters more than ever. If you miss the livestreaming events in April, you can still view the information at EarthX website.

As we all enjoy this celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, EarthX continues to position itself as the center in a more global way with all communities: corporations, citizens, educators, investors, government and nonprofits.

Together we make a difference!

Thursday, April 23 - Friday, April 24 • 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Resilient cities have the ability to absorb, recover, and prepare for future shocks to their economic, environmental, social, and institutional services. Resilient cities promote sustainable development, wellbeing, and inclusive growth.

Cities face a growing range of challenges in the 21st Century. The effects of climate change, growing migrant populations, inadequate infrastructure, pandemics, cyberattacks, and more. Resilience is how cities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges, and prepare for both the expected and the unexpected like the coronavirus pandemic.

CURRENT SEA

LAST WILD PLACES

Cambodia/Malaysia/USA, 2020, 90 min.

Overfishing of the ocean’s waters is happening all over the world, having a horrendous impact not only on marine ecosystems but also on the local fishermen who depend on these habitats for their livelihood. That is undoubtedly the case in Cambodia, where illegal fishing is devastating this once robust seascape. Current Sea explores the situation in a tense and riveting way by following a couple of deeply committed expats who are determined to end this scourge and bring justice to the perpetrators, but of course, put themselves into great peril along the way.

USA, 2020, 60 min.

The famed biologist E.O. Wilson has worked to start a campaign called Half Earth, which posits that we need to put aside fifty percent of the planet’s surface and dedicate it to animal species. It is a big, bold idea, and the National Geographic Society is making its own ambitious efforts on this with its own Campaign for Nature, which aims to protect thirty percent of the planet by 2030. Last Wild Places is a film that looks at different areas around the world where this effort is already underway, and it has to be given how quickly 2030 is coming up.

They may have different paths, but being on a horse keeps these three cowboys moving forward against all the odds.

MOSSVILLE: WHEN GREAT TREES FALL USA, 2019, 75 min.

Mossville is haunting, disturbing and essential viewing.

It tells the story of Mossville, a small town in Louisiana where a giant chemical plant has landed, displacing its long-time African-American residents. One of them says in a home video: “I am human just like you. I breathe.

I think. Just like you.” She died from cancer not long after, and her son Stacey says, “That is why we fight.”

In the long-time, uphill battle for environmental justice, “disposable people,” as another character says, are left behind. It is tragic and heartbreaking, but there are people - and you meet them in this forcible documentary - who are not going to go without a fight, which is deeply inspiring. “I want them to know that we existed.”

PUBLIC TRUST

THE GREAT GREEN WALL

USA, 2020, 96 min.

Our public lands are a complicated mix of good intentions and shady deals, which this documentary does its damndest to explain. What we learn is that very little is straightforward in this murky world as various entities, including politicians, ranchers, extractionists, and outdoor enthusiasts, all jockey for some part of what rightly belongs to every American. Narrated by Robert Redford and executive produced by Yvon Chouinard with Patagonia, Public Trust weaves together an assortment of stories, connected by the indefatigable journalist, Hal Herring. Working tirelessly to shine a light on the chicanery involved with public lands, Herring also shows us why they matter - or should matter so much to each of us.

USA, 2019, 91 min.

This documentary pulses with energy and purpose as it follows the Malian singer, Inna Modja, on her ambitious and inspiring journey across Africa. Her mission is to help build a green wall of trees that will start to offset the desertification happening in the Sahel region that is particularly feeling the effects of climate change. It is not an easy journey. There are multiple challenges from skeptics and other oppositions, but Modja is formidable and will not be defeated. Ultimately, this will be an 8000-kilometer edifice, the largest natural structure in the world, three times the size of the Great Barrier Reef. It is well on its way, so far, having built fifteen percent, proving determination can conquer the seemingly impossible.

RACING EXTINCTION USA, 2015, 94 min., Color Louie Psihoyos’s The Cove exposed viewers to the brutal practice of dolphin slaughter. The Academy Award-winning director now bears witness to a global problem: mankind’s role in precipitating mass extinction, potentially resulting in the loss of half of the world’s species. Psihoyos joins forces with activists, scientists, nature photographers, and cutting-edge inventors to draw attention to the dangers we face. While covert operations reveal the horrific black-market trade in endangered aquatic species, the film’s broader lens uncovers the even more disastrous consequences of human activity, chiefly the release of ocean-killing methane and carbon from energy consumption. With stakes as high as the survival of life on the planet, Racing Extinction is an urgent, affirming call to action to stem the tide before it’s too late.

THE STORY OF PLASTIC USA, 2019, 89 min.

In the 1967 film, The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman’s character, Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate, is told by a family friend, that the future is plastics. How right he was. And how unfortunate that he was so right because single-use plastics have such a pernicious effect on our lives, it is often hard to comprehend. The Story of Plastic works to help us understand the scope and scale of this global scourge. Produced with the same folks who made the widely-seen Story of Stuff, this documentary takes us around the globe to see how plastic has taken over our world, having a deleterious impact that is far beyond anything imagined by screenwriters more than 50 years ago.

A FISTFUL OF RUBBISH

2020 EarthxFilm Shorts Programs Science in Action Shorts Is there anything more critical to the long term health of our planet and its people than the work of scientists? This fun and smart program introduces you to an array of scientists who need to get out of the lab and into the field to do their fascinating work.

Golden • Chasing Ghosts Echoes In The Arctic • The Love Bugs

On the Edge Shorts The people you will meet in this exciting program have all made decisions to take the hard road.

They could play it safe or make it easy on themselves, but some people just aren’t comfortable being comfortable, and that can be inspiring.

Ode To Desolation • The Long Haul Venture Out • Lowland Kids Akashinga • Step Outside

Offbeat Green Shorts Many environmental films are earnest in their sensibility and storytelling style. That is certainly not the case with these films, which are wildly curious and wonderfully different in their approach and attitude.

Ferryman At The Wall • Melted Nobody Dies In Longyearbyen Lost World • Counter Mapping The Church Forests Of Ethiopia

Playing in front of The Story of Plastic Spain, 2019, 14 min.

This film feels funnily familiar because it takes some of the famous tropes of spaghetti westerns from a time gone by, and gives it a clever twist. What is significantly less clever is the real-world message that this doc conveys. It appears the iconic sets for these famous films have now been trashed with, well, trash. Luckily, there is an effort afoot to right this wrong and clean up the mess left behind.

AKASHINGA On the Edge Shorts USA, Zimbabwe, 2019, 14 min.

The illegal hunting and killing of elephants has been an enormous challenge for Zimbabwe. In an effort to combat this scourge, the country has established an elite troop of rangers, all of whom are women, and called Akashinga. The film, executive produced by James Cameron, shows how the women’s training is brutal and rigorous, but their commitment unwavering, motivated by a steadfast belief in their mission.

CHASING GHOSTS Science In Action Shorts USA, 2019, 16 min.

This all-too-true film is the stuff of myth and legend where obsessive people have strange yet intriguing quests that take them to alluring landscapes. The people in this story are scientists and photographers. The setting is a murky, muddy, alligator, and snake-filled swamp in a remote part of Florida, a character in itself. What consumes them is the Ghost Orchid, a rare and enigmatic flower. Their mission: to identify the pollinator - which remains unknown.

COUNTER MAPPING Offbeat Green Shorts USA, 2018, 10 min.

Jim Enote, a traditional Zuni farmer and director of the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center, is working with Zuni artists to create maps that bring an indigenous voice and perspective back to the land. The goal, to counter Western notions of place and geography while challenging the arbitrary borders imposed on the Zuni world.

This short is a visual poem about our land told through the aerial eye of Google Earth. We are challenged through this lens to understand how both resilient and fragile this planet truly is.

On the Edge Shorts USA, 2019, 22 min.

Of course, it is hard to know, but it is estimated that there will be 150 million people across the world who will become refugees because of the climate crisis and the attendant rising seas. Lowland Kids looks at the first Americans who will be forced from their homes. These people reside on the Isle de Jean Charles along the Louisiana coast, including a pair of teenagers who are desperately hoping to stay on the island where their family has lived for generations.

FERRYMAN AT THE WALL Offbeat Green Shorts USA, 2018, 16 min.

Nature knows no borders we learn in this short documentary spanning all three countries in North America. We begin down south, where we meet the Ferryman of the title and other compelling local characters with a smart take on what is actually happening in this controversial landscape. A hop north reveals that what is happening south of the border is wildly similar to what’s mirrored on the Canadian side, proving nature does not take sides.

GOLDEN Science in Action Shorts USA, 2019, 8 min.

Eagles are an iconic raptor in this country but not an easy species to study. It requires long travels to remote landscapes and feats of derring-do, like rappelling into eagle’s nests.

Perhaps, in part, it is those extra degrees of difficulty that drew Caitlin Davis to this challenging work, but it is, in fact, something that she actually dreamed about as a child. Once you meet Caitlin Davis in Golden, it will all make sense.

LOST WORLD USA, 2018, 16 min.

National interests can end up creating some unusual unforeseen situations. Lost World tells a surprising story of how the small but financially ambitious city-state of Singapore dredges sand from under Cambodia’s mangrove forests to create an artificial “natural” landscape. Seen through the eyes of a Cambodian woman who knows how important mangroves are to ecosystems, we witness how much she and her country is losing in this unfortunate exchange.

For almost four decades, Matthew Modine has been making movies, leaving a real imprint on audiences. His own deeply thought-provoking directorial efforts are less known. With Ripple Effect, Modine, a long-time activist and environmentalist, seeks to find what famed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau called “wavemakers,” the remarkable people making extraordinary efforts to save our seas. Modine will be in attendance in Dallas at the second screening if his shooting schedule allows it.

MELTED USA, 2020, 5 min.

Melted imagines the future of the world if nothing is done to address the global climate crisis. The year is 2098, the ice caps have melted and all the snow is gone. The world we live in is barren, dry, dystopian and inhospitable to human life.

The pursuit of adventure remains as the protagonists seeks the thrill of skiing. Budding filmmaker and professional skier, Sierra Quitiquit makes her directorial debut with this beautiful and emotionally provocative plea to protect what is dearest to her - snow, the natural world and this beautiful planet.

DIR Sierra Quitiquit

NOBODY DIES IN LONGYEARBYEN Offbeat Green Shorts USA, 2018, 9 min.

Longyearbyen, Norway, the world’s northernmost city, creates a challenge for people who live there: you are not allowed to be buried there. The permafrost preserves bodies in its icy embrace. Of course, it is tragically melting, creating new disturbing challenges, like the recent flooding of the famous Seed Bank in Svalbard. What the smartly directed film really wants to know is what zombie viruses - or people - could emerge from this arctic underground?

ODE TO DESOLATION

SHOULDERS DEEP

On the Edge Shorts USA, 2020, 14 min.

Fire lookouts used to abound across the wilderness in North America, but like so much in the woods, they have become diminished. There are a variety of reasons, including less wild places and advanced technology, but there are some folks still out there looking for smoke amidst the trees. Ode to Desolation introduces us to Jim Henterly, a naturalist and illustrator who continues to do this unusual yet valuable work.

Playing in front of Mossville USA, 2020, 7 min.

Aniya Wingate was 17 years old when Hurricane Harvey viciously swept into her hometown of Houston, Texas, and displaced her from her grandmother’s home. She tragically became a climate refugee, which will become an all-toocommon story with millions more expected to follow this bleak path in the future. However, Wingate was determined not to let this derail her life and decided to process this extremely challenging experience through a beautifully compelling dance performance.

SACRED STRIDES Playing in front of Public Trust USA, 2018, 13 min.

For many, running heals, but the runners in this film are looking to do more than to feel good - they want their moving feet to have an impact on a critical issue: the Bears Ear National Monument. Since President Obama proclaimed the monument, entities who wish to extract from the mineral-rich region have contested it. On the other side are environmental activists and indigenous people running 800 miles to protect their sacred land.

SAVING SALMA Offbeat Green Shorts Indonesia/USA, 2020, 7 min.

This clever short doc tells the story of a young Indonesian elephant named Salma. She had fallen into a hole and was near death when a local conservation group led by a Goldman-prize winning activist banded together with some other noble folks to rescue the gentle giant. The film is both gripping and strangely fun to watch as Salma finds her way back to health.

STEP OUTSIDE On the Edge Shorts USA, 2020, 9 min.

The environmental movement has been working towards positive change for at least half a century, yet this remains hard to come by. That is why many in the movement believe that peaceful civil disobedience is the best tactic for change.

Step Outside tells the story of a one-day protest walk in the Bay area in an activist effort to shut down the Wells Fargo global headquarters.

THE CHURCH FORESTS OF ETHIOPIA Offbeat Green Shorts USA, 2019, 10 min.

Allies in the environmental movement can be surprising sometimes. Cue Ethiopia, where the Orthodox Churches have stepped up in the effort to save the country’s forests. The Churches are often surrounded by pockets of primary forest, their faithful making it their duty to help preserve these native landscapes struggling and clear cut from farming and grazing. It is not easy work but perhaps made easier because the church people believe they are doing God’s work.

THE LONG HAUL On the Edge Shorts USA, 2019, 14 min.

Keeping expeditions supplied is hard work out there on the northside of Alaska’s Denali mountain. Motorized support is not permitted, and the conditions are brutal, with efforts considered to be more perilous than the world-famous Iditarod. Of course, the people who do this work are not famous, but this short doc shows just how challenging their task is and why they are the right ones to do the job.

THE LOVE BUGS

VENTURE OUT

Science in Action Shorts USA, 2019, 34 min.

“Our love for each other is just beyond me to analyze … we’re scientists, not behaviorists,” says Charles O’Brien, lifelong entomologist, and dedicated husband. While he is reluctant to talk about their relationship, he is voluble about the work that he and his wife, Lois, did over their career, which has led to the collection and identification of more than a million insect species -- the world’s most extensive private collection. This joyful, and yes, loving film recognizes and appreciates their pure passion for each other and the marvelous yet peculiar field of entomology while highlighting their efforts to protect the future of their invaluable insect collection in their old age.

On the Edge Shorts USA, 2020, 15 min.

For some people, coming out as LGBTQ is intimidating enough, but what about queer folks that also want to get out - as in outdoors? To lead the inexperienced, Perry Cohen started a non-profit called Venture Out that works to encourage and inspire the LGBTQ community to take trips into the wilderness and see what a life-improving - if not life-saving - experience this can be.

They are also young, passionate, and willing to put themselves in peril for their cause. Faith E.
