The 2009 festival will present 30+ films over three days, an environmental photography exhibit and competition, numerous socializing events at which audiences can meet filmmakers, a filmmaker forum where audiences can ask established filmmakers questions about their art, films for youth, electronics recycling (nominal fees), and more.

The Colorado Environmental Film Festival is also pleased to announce that it will present the Front Range Premiere of Stephanie Soechtig’s “Tapped.” “Tapped”— from the producers of “Who Killed the Electric Car” and “I.O.U.S.A”— is a timely documentary that takes a behind-the-scenes look at the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never become a commodity: our water.

“Tapped” will screen at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, CO on November 5 and 7 at 7:00 pm. Tapped also will screen on November 6 at the University of Denver (Davis auditorium, Sturm Hall) at 7:00 pm. The University of Denver screening is FREE and open to the public.

Additionally the festival will feature seasoned environmental filmmaker John de Graaf’s “What’s the Economy for Anyway?,” local Colorado filmmaker Christopher Fauchere’s “The Great Squeeze,” Sundance veteran and local experimental filmmaker Tony Gault’s “Fossil Light,” author and illustrator Lynn Cherry’s film, “Young Voices on Climate Change”, as well as numerous other local, national, and international films.

Tickets are on sale at CEFF and at the Denver Flagship and Boulder REI stores.
