-:30	<b>Tesfaye</b>: This short film introduces us to a man who is making a difference on the planet, starting at home. Tesfaye grew up in Ethiopia when the land was covered with trees and his people could raise healthy animals and crops. Now, the land is desert. All of the trees have been stripped for fuel, the land is depleted, and the rains don’t come. But Tesfaye has a mission to bring back the Eden of his childhood… [5m]
+:30	<b>The Great Year</b> is a most unusual and stimulating work of art which explores the cosmic cycles spoken of by ancients from the Vedic scholars to the Mayans.  In the distant past, it was believed that the movement of the stars guided the rise and fall of human civilization. How much did the ancients really know?  You’ll be enthralled by its vision and the sense of participating in something that’s much, much larger than ourselves.  Narrated by James Earl Jones. [46m]
-:35	<b>Chickens of the Sea</b>: The chickens are really prairie hens, and the sea is the waving grasses of the high prairie in this sweet short film aimed at kids, but meant to be enjoyed by all ages. Sit back and learn about the flora and fauna of a precious natural habitat for creatures with some very strange customs! [7m]
+:20	<b>The Mystery Of Chaco Canyon</b>:  Who were the ancient people who lived in this place we now call Chaco Canyon in the heart of the Southwestern United States?  Why did they create such enormous and foreboding fortresses, capable of housing thousands of people, when new evidence proves that only a few hundred people ever actually lived there?  Robert Redford narrates an intriguing journey through this land, exploring the archeological, astronomical and spiritual remains of a truly mysterious people. (55 min)

-:05	<b>The Garden</b>: From the ashes of the LA riots arose a lush 14-acre community garden — the largest in the US. Previously relying on convenience stores for groceries, the mostly migrant Latin American families cleared the lots, tilled the soil, grew an abundance of fruits and vegetables and, in the process, created a community. Now they must come together to fight possible eviction from the garden. Nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary, The Garden follows the South Central farmers as they fight City Hall; uncovering the politics, backroom deals and greed that threaten their garden.

However, one brave woman, Lek Chailert, is changing those statistics, and has started the Elephant Nature Park to provide a sanctuary for the elephants. This poignant documentary provides a view of elephants like no visit to the zoo ever will — and demonstrates the power of one person to affect change. [25m]
+:30	<b>Uno degli Ultimi (One of the Last)</b>: Deep in the heart of Italy, 78-year-old Mauro Selvetti continues to work the land as he has his whole life. The Italian farmer doesn’t understand why anyone would want to retire and sit in a café watching life pass by. His idea of retirement is to fearlessly climb trees to pick cherries and olives, and dig into the earth for potatoes and onions. He worries about the diminishing populations of grasshoppers and jackrabbits, and the environmental changes he sees around him. Mauro is a part of the landscape and wants it to survive. [11m]

+:41	<b>Living Lightly</b>: Peter and Faye Vido, along with their three children, live off the grid on a farm in New Brunswick, Canada. The family has a vision: to live as lightly as possible. Using a scythe is part of that vision. Scythes, seldom used today, were used to cut grass and grain crops. But as we face climate change and peak oil, they are slowly gaining attention as an alternative to machines that require fossil fuels to operate. Watch the Vido family make scythes, teach others how to use these tools, and gracefully live in rhythm with nature. [24m]

-* <b>Every Third Bite</b>: This playful and colourful excursion honours bees, beekeepers and the ancient dance between the two. From the rooftops of New York City to abandoned lots in Chicago, meet bee activists in urban and rural places who are keeping wild bees and meanwhile producing the best tasting honey in the world. You’ll learn to celebrate the fact that every third bite you consume is pollinated by a bee and that this shrinking population of busy workers is irreplaceable. This film is produced by an unusual group, The Meerkat Media Arts Collective out of Brooklyn, New York; comprised of filmmakers and artists who believe in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation.  [9m]
+*7:30:  <b>The Trap</b>:  This poetic film weaves an unlikely connection between the hardy lifestyle of Cape Breton fishermen and the monastic tradition of Tibetan Buddhist nuns and monks of Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia.  Every year, the Buddhists purchase the final catch of the season and release them back into the wild.  It’s this honouring the cycle of life that brings the fishing community and the Buddhist monastery together. [19m]
-* <b>Chasing Wild Horses</b>: Follow famous fashion photographer Roberto Dutesco as he makes an unprecedented trip to Sable Island, a nature preserve and narrow crescent-shaped sandbar off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. The island is home to over 300 free-roaming feral horses which are protected by law from human interference. Dutesco wanders this untouched habitat, photographing its remarkable and wildly beautiful inhabitants with a sensitive and compassionate eye.  [49m]
+*7:50:  <b>Varmints</b>: A departure from EC’s usual fare, this unique short from England tells the tale of how one small creature, in the face of overwhelming industrialization and environmental recklessness, struggles to preserve a remnant of the peace he once knew.  His selfless acts of love plant the seeds of change that will ultimately prove the world’s salvation.

+*8:15:  <b>Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars</b>:  What does it take to stop a giant power company from building 19 fast-tracked, coal-fired power plants?  Follow unlikely partners – mayors, CEOs, ranchers, community groups, legislators, lawyers, faith groups & citizens – as they fight a high-stakes battle for clean air and redefine what it means to be an environmentalist.  This film, demonstrating the power of the people, deftly frames the challenge to find forward-thinking energy solutions that support local economies & protect public health.
