Environmental Film Series
Saint Olaf is hosting an Environmental Film Series this spring, drawing on the interests of students and the expertise of faculty. Aside from their pure entertainment value, we will use these events to learn about the environmental issues, and how they are communicated outside the classroom and outside of books. The chosen films cover a wide variety of topics, from environmental health to energy, from climate change to food and agriculture, from saving wild places to understanding the places we inhabit daily.
