Since our first Living Green KRV Festival in March 2009, we've shown 44 films.
- List of the 44 Green Films we've shown since March 2009 (through March 2010).
Like all of our events, volunteers make things happen.
2010/11 Green Films Committee:
- Valerie Cassity, acting-chair & kids’ films chair
- Joy Tessman
- Kari Maki Julian
- Katie Olivares
- Martine C. McGuire
- Tysun McMullan
The 2010/11 Green Films Committee is working on proposals for this coming year, including showing a green film the 1st Wednesday of every month throughout the year. Tentatively planned is a Kid’s Green Film Day on Sunday, March 20, 2011 and Green Film Festival on Saturday, March 26, 2011 during our main festival.
Among the films we are likely to show this Fall:
These, and many other films are available for purchase through our LivingGreenKRV Amazon.com store:
- Age of Stupid DVD
- Fuel DVD
- Tapped DVD
- What Would Jesus Buy? DVD
Which we plan to show in conjunction with the First Baptist Church of Kernville & Kernville United Methodist Church followed by a panel discussion moderated by former KRVR president Chuck White, a retired minister.
We get small share of your purchase & you don't spend a dime over the regular Amazon.com discounted prize for films, books (and other things) available through our store.
IF you have suggestions of films we should consider showing (full length and short subjects), e-mail Katie Olivares, chair or post to Green FilmFest.
Green Film Festival MISSION:
"To provide free access to fresh and diverse environmental films
that highlight urgent contemporary issues
and offer accessible solutions."
“We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson, writer, cultural anthropologist, daughter of Margaret Mead & Gregory Bateson
Our Dream: To elevate our Film Festival to become one like the excellent Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Nevada City, California.
We make most of the films we show available to Kern Valley after-school programs.
And once a year, we donate most of the DVDs to the Kern County Library, so that anyone with a library card can view them anywhere throughout Kern County.

The Kern County Library is one of our participating organizations and is already planning Living Green events for March 2011.
