Fifteen films and discussions by five filmmakers are included in the festival, sponsored by the Cornell University Center for the Environment, Cornell Cinema and the Einaudi Center for International Studies. The films will be introduced by the filmmakers or by experts on the film's topics. Many evening screenings will be followed by receptions for audiences to discuss the films and talk with the filmmaker and speakers.
