About the event
In this session, you will hear from a panel of environmental filmmakers including Jill Tidman, Executive Director of The Redford Center and Producer (WATERSHED: EXPLORING A NEW WATER ETHIC FOR THE NEW WEST, HAPPENING: A CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION), Producer Paula DuPré Pesmen, (THE COVE, CHASING ICE), and Director Louie Psihoyos (THE COVE, THE PLASTIC DETOX). They’ll discuss Redford’s impact on their careers, why climate storytelling is more important and empowering than ever, and how all filmmakers can incorporate climate themes and social impact into their work.
This event will end with a live audience Q&A, during which attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about The Redford Center, the panelists’ films, and their advice on how to continue Redford’s incredible legacy in this space.
