About Cinema Verde
Cinema Verde is a wonderful chance for us to celebrate the beautiful nature that is so important to those of us who’ve chosen to live in this unique region of Florida, and it’s an opportunity for our community to showcase the stunning natural treasures we work so hard to protect. There is no better time of year to invite visitors from the chilly north to come to sunny Florida and celebrate our natural heritage with us.
Cinema Verde is an environmental film and arts festival focused on the promotion of sustainability and green living. The third-annual Cinema Verde Environmental Film and Arts Festival is a production of GoGreenNation.org. The organization’s mission is to showcase natural resources, workshops and other educational activities for community organizations, local businesses and citizens in order to create sustainable solutions for the future.
We are still seeking financial assistance as well as in-kind donations. We are also seeking accomodations and restaurant gift certificates for our guests! It’s not too late to sponsor a film, a night, or to join Cinema Verde’s EcoFairs February 25-26. We want all sustainable business and organizations to be included!! For more information call Trish Riley at 352-327-3560.
