Behind the scenes: Filmmaker Tal Skloot

Posted on Blog by Donna Nitzberg · April 13, 2017 7:00 AM

Who isn't curious about what happens behind the scenes while making a film?

Our third 'sneak peak' installment rolls along with Tal Skloot, the wizard behind the curtain of 4 Wheel Bob, which will be shown on Saturday, April 22, at 3:15 pm, in the Roxie.

4 Wheel Bob follows Bob Coomber and his wheelchair as he makes history and crosses the Kearsarge Pass in the Sierra Nevada, and climbs to 11,845 feet.

Coomber has been wheelchair bound for years and suffered from a number of health challenges, but none of these have stopped him. Indeed, it was Bob’s determination and his motto of "no excuses" that led to an obsession with wheelchair hiking as a way to gain his health back.

The difficulties of filming in such challenging surroundings are many, but Tal Skloot and his team bring us face to face with extraordinary courage, extreme athleticism, and spectacular scenery.

Posted on Blog by Donna Nitzberg · March 30, 2017 7:00 AM


Who isn't curious about what happens behind the scenes while making a film?

Galvin_shoots_Elwha_large.jpgHere's a sneak peak into the motivations and methods of Jennifer Galvin, the director of The Memory of Fish, which will be shown on Saturday, April 22, at 3 pm, in the Little Roxie.

Named as one of Good Magazine's 'The Good 100' in 2014, Dr. Galvin is spectacularly well-rounded.

Not only is she a film director, but also a public health and epidemiology doctor, an aquatic biologist, and a philanthropist. 

Dr. Galvin was gracious enough to take time away from her busy schedule to answer a few burning questions for us.

Bigger Picture: Honoring Cecil the Lion & Born Free

Posted on Blog by Gemma & Tim Bradshaw · June 30, 2016 4:10 PM

When we heard the news of the killing of Cecil the Lion, we knew that we must honor him and the many lions lost each year at the 2016 Green Film Fest as part of our Keep It Wild theme.

The clear choice for this event was to bring the classic film Born Free to San Francisco for a special 50th Anniversary screening.
