Festival Wrap Party

POSTPONED
Sunday, March 15, 4 p.m.
The Hatchery Chicago
135 N. Kedzie Ave., Chicago

It’s a wrap! We’ve marveled at the beauty and power of nature, discovered actions that can reverse climate change, and perhaps made a new friend or two. Now it’s time to use “The Power of We” to reflect on and celebrate the closing of One Earth's Day of Earth Action, as well as the conclusion of our 9th season.

Visit with action partners offering more opportunities to up your climate action game and dive deeper into the issues. Enjoy a brief program including a short, award-winning selection from our Young Filmmakers Contest. Plus -- mix, mingle and dance to the sounds of DJ Taz -- while enjoying soup, bread, beer and wine, as well as non-alcoholic beverages.

“The eyes of all future generations are upon you.” Greta Thunberg

For the last eight years, our eyes have been upon the incredible films of motivated and inspired young people from ages 8–25. We have offered them the opportunity to research, produce, and show their original films as part of our Young Filmmakers Contest. We invite you to join us at the premier screenings of the winning films, to be inspired by their creativity, and to learn more about the non-profit organizations that will benefit from matching grants the winners receive. Founding Director of the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest Sue Crothers will announce the winners.
