Loyola Marymount University’s 7th annual Gottlieb Native Garden Green Earth Film Festival will move into a virtual space this year with a dozen environmental films for participants to screen starting on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020.

The free festival was founded by environmental philanthropists Dan and Susan Gottlieb, in partnership with LMU’s Center for Urban Resilience and School of Film and Television. The event creates an opportunity for filmmakers of all skill levels to screen environmental films while raising awareness of environmental issues, including human-caused pollution across the globe to conflicts among people and wildlife.

This year’s virtual showcase of films will also feature curated environmental discussions led by CURes Executive Director Eric Strauss, and interviews with festival filmmakers by Associate Professor of Production Gregory Ruzzin.

The festival will end with a pre-recorded interview with Jim Robbins, author of “The Wonder of Birds: What They Tell Us about Ourselves, the World, and a Better Future.”
