Mike: Ultimately the content of
the film festival, the film “A Fierce Green Fire” and the short
previews, were altogether really inspiring. Though there was not a
specific direction that the documentary pointed patrons in, it served
to provide encouragement to do more. I personally felt inspired to
take measures to make more environmentally conscious decisions in
terms of energy consumption especially.
Christina: The film festival
was great, but I always think it’s best to leave participants of a
group with an “ask” after riling them up – like presenting an
action (a petition to Congress if not an actual event to participate
in) – so that they could take that motivation and use it to come
together again to accomplish something. (There were participation
cards where we could sign to be on an e-mail list about future
events.) I was pumped at the end of the showing – the movie built
a great historical perspective about environmental activism in the
US, leading up to what it considered today’s top environmental
movement, addressing climate change.
Sonora:
Overall, the Fossil Free Film
festival was a success.
There was a full house 3 of the 4 sessions (about 117 people) and
about 77 people on Thursday afternoon, the total seats filled was 428
for the four sessions. Personally, I enjoyed being on the organizing
team but would have liked to see more students in attendance as well
as different ethnic and minority groups. The films that really moved
me were, “The Last Mountain” which is a film about mountain top
removal in the valley of Appalachia which was highly effective with
the use of ethos and “Carbon Nation” which provided ethos, logos
and pathos in providing alternatives for the climate crisis issue.
