SF/Arts Curator Insight

This homegrown fest explores a variety of environmental films, from docs to adventure sagas and narrative fiction. “The Shepherd & the Bear” bears witness, pardon the pun, to conflicts that ensue when brown bears are reintroduced into a community in the French Pyrenees. Set in the 1900s Portland and based on a true story, Nigerian-American producer/director Ime N. Etuk’s “Outdoor School” looks at the joys and profound impact of experiential learning in the wild on a homeless young black boy.
