Impact Film Festival

On June 14th, the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) and Sierra Club will present the Impact Film Festival at the Hollywood Theater. This one-day festival will feature documentary films along with an expert panel discussion about the intersections of environment, community and public health.

The Impact Film Festival aims to raise awareness of the impact that environmental concerns have on our health and our community, and second, to empower our community to positively impact the world around them.

The festival begins at 7:00pm with the screening of four short films: “Intersection Repair,” “The True Cost of Food,” “The New Dream,” and “The Appalachians.” At 8:30pm there will be a question and answer session with experts in the fields of renewable energy, the green economy, public health and sustainability. The festival will conclude with the feature presentation, “The Power of Community” at 9:20pm.

The event is free for NCNM students and $7.00 for the public. Doors open at 6:30pm, with the feature presentation concluding at around 10:15pm. Visit www.sierraclub.org/community/portland/ for more info.
