"Protecting the Nature of Maine" to Screen at Camden International Film Festival

You won’t want to miss the gala film festival premiere of an inspiring new documentary film that features some of Maine’s most important environmental victories and the people who helped to make them possible.

The film "Protecting the Nature of Maine: Fifty Years of the Natural Resources Council of Maine," is slated for a screening as part of the Camden International Film Festival on Saturday October 3 at 1:30 p.m. at the Farnsworth Museum. The screening will be accompanied by words from director Richard Kane.

Stunning footage – from Rockport’s Beech Hill to Mt. Katahdin to Acadia National Park and beyond – and dozens of interviews with citizens across the state, bring the threats and the accomplishments to life—and remind us what can be achieved when concerned people come together for a cause in which they believe. For a sneak preview, see the trailer above.

The half-hour documentary film was produced entirely in Maine by Maine filmmakers: director Richard Kane (Maine Masters) and scriptwriter Veronica Young (NOVA, National Geographic Channel), with scenic cinematography by Jeff Dobbs, and an original score by Grammy Award-winner Paul Sullivan.

Tickets $8.50. FMI: www.camdenfilmfest.org.
