The Mill Valley Film Festival’s Active Cinema is a dynamic effort to connect the dots between issue-rooted films, interested audiences and the individuals and organizations working for the causes represented onscreen.
AC 08 included a dozen film screenings, inspiring speakers and guests, networking, filmmaking and tree planting. Trees were planted in Boyle Park, Mill Valley, in honor of the subjects of two AC films: Wangari Maathai (Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai) and the late Chico Mendes (Children of the Amazon). Visit the AC Blog for updates on some of last year’s participants.
Become an Active Cinema Champion
For AC 09, we’re looking for a core group of volunteers—Active Cinema Champions–to support AC programs in preparation for and during the festival. If you are interested, please sign up for our email list for announcements. The initial AC Champions meeting in late June.
