Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Inspiring action and a sense of adventure one film at a time

For the past seven years, the Alliance’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival has brought beautiful cinematography and inspiring stories to viewers across our diverse region.

About the Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Since 2019, the Alliance has brought communities together by hosting the Wild & Scenic Film Festival across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This spring, the Film Festival will provide warmth, inspire action, and raise hope during a time of growth and rebirth.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival brings together incredible selections of films that inform, inspire, and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation. Festival-goers can expect to see award-winning films about nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, agriculture, Native American, and indigenous cultures.

The Film Festival is a natural extension of the Alliance’s mission to bring together communities, companies, and conservationists to improve the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
