The International Wildlife Film Festival’s post-festival tour continues with “Islands of Creation” (53 min.), recipient of “Best Newcomer” award at the prestigious IWFF. This film  takes viewers to the jungles of a remote archipelago in the South Pacific where Dr. Albert Uy, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Miami, races against time to gather the evidence necessary to prove the existence of a new species before it’s lost forever.

Short films by West Coast filmmaker Flora Skivington will also be screened.  Flora’s films explore the power of places to influence and inspire people.

Proceeds from the film festival will benefit the Redwood Valley Outdoor Education Project. The RVOEP is a special program of the Ukiah Unified School District that provides outdoor environmental education programs to over 2,000 students each year on a 45-acre woodland in Redwood Valley.
