This Earth Month (April), the Academy of Natural Sciences hosts the second annual Confluence – an environmental film festival developed in partnership with BlackStar Projects, cinéSPEAK, the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival and the Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival. The month-long festival showcases films from regional filmmakers whose work addresses this year's festival theme of Regeneration; these stories are rooted in neighborhoods, cities and regions, illuminating how communities have been imagining and enacting alternatives to the climate crisis and stewarding ecosystems for future generations. Join us for this incredible series of feature-length, short and documentary films, and hear from filmmakers, community-based organizations and advocates to learn how you can support the next generation of climate resilience.
