The 15th Annual Environmental Film Festival kicks off March 15th and runs through March 25th in Washington, DC. 

With over 140 films appearing in over 40 venues, and accented with live performance and guest appearances by a wide diversity of film makers, stars and celebrities, this year's event will be a most significant statement of the state of the filmmaking art in environmental and nature media.

Amazingly, the majority of screenings are free and open to the public.
