Steve Rose in the Guardian wrote a nice piece on the Festival today as follows ‘Like horror or science fiction, environmental cinema is now a genre of its own – and one that sometimes overlaps those others – so it’s only fair it should get its own festival. Here are documentaries, guests and discussions to rouse, or terrify, you into action. The makers of foodie doc Planeat are on hand, Harry Shearer Skypes an intro to his New Orleans doc The Big Uneasy, landscape photographer Joe Cornish attends the premiere of a film on his work, and nuclear waste doc Into Eternity is accompanied by Friends of the Earth. Kids films and eco-minded vintage sci-fi show that it’s not all doom and gloom.’ www.ukgreenfilmfestival.org
