The 17th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival announces Call for Entries for its Environmental Film Series, a curated program of films designed to raise awareness of important issues affecting our environment. The films cover a wide array of "eco" and "green" topics, including water quality issues, sustainability, natural resource preservation, animal protection, garbage issues, the effects of globalization, recycling, vegetarianism, the adverse effects of industrialized agricultural practices, activism and more. Since Newport Beach is home to a wealth of environmental groups and natural wonders (from the beaches to the bays to the bird estuaries), the Newport Beach Film Festival is the ideal venue to present environmental films. Community partners for the program include Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, Newport Bay Conservancy, Orange County Parks and Surfrider.
