"The Great Divide"--International Wildlife Film Festival

Presented by Redwood Valley Outdoor Education Project (RVOEP) at Ukiah Civic Center

“The High Divide” (16 min.) celebrates the confluences of wild place, its visionary people, and a bold new mission to preserve and restore the backbone of the American West.

“Elk River” (28 min.) captures the migration of elk in the Yellowstone area through a multidisciplinary lens by following a scientist, a contemporary artist, and an award-winning photojournalist as they trek from Wyoming’s rangeland through snowy mountain passes and treacherous river crossings to the rugged beauty of Yellowstone’s high-alpine meadows.

“Boyn-Sham Bi-Den” (9 min.) documents how bison have finally been brought back to the Wind River Indian Reservation, a landscape they once defined.

“Running Wild” (7 min.). Under the guidance of the group Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, ultra runners (who run footraces longer than the traditional marathon) set up and check camera traps in the Uinta mountains of Utah to document wolverines and other wildlife in this remote ecosystem.

“Shaped by Fire” (10 min.). Two friends run 52 miles along the Mountana-Idaho state line in a campaign to promote the proposed Great Burn Wilderness.

“End of Snow” (20 min.) Dr. Jane Zelikova explores the Fourteeners (mountain peaks with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet) of Wyoming and Colorado in a search for the past, present, and future history of their snowpacks.
