February <strong>15</strong> - 21, 20<strong>17</strong> www.TheTownCommon.com Page <br />
announced details about the third annual Conservation Film Festival, which will occur Friday evening, March 3rd thru Sunday<br />
afternoon, March 5th. The free public event will take place at the refuge’s visitor center and headquarters complex in Newburyport.<br />
A diverse selection of award-winning, conservation-related films from across the world will be presented on the big screen in the<br />
visitor center auditorium. Films that will be screened during the festival focus on a broad range of local, national and international<br />
conservation topics. Here’s a quick rundown of just some of the films that are on the schedule. The Million Dollar Duck is a<br />
documentary that focuses on the strange and wonderful world of the Federal Duck Stamp Contest, the only juried, art competition<br />
run by the U.S. government. Ribbon of Sand, narrated by Meryl Streep, profiles the famed Outer Banks of the Carolina coast – a<br />
fragile environment not unlike the barrier beach on Plum Island. Return of the River follows a group of strong-minded, committed<br />
people as they attempt the impossible: to change public opinion of a town, and eventually the nation, to bring a dam down. Sonic<br />
Sea is about protecting life in our waters from the destructive effects of oceanic noise pollution. Shored Up is a documentary that<br />
takes a look at how development of our coastlines has put us in a tough predicament, and shows why it’s time to start looking for<br />
innovative solutions. Love Thy Nature, an award-winning film narrated by Liam Neeson, shows how deeply we’ve lost touch with<br />
nature and takes viewers on a cinematic journey through the beauty and intimacy of our relationship with the natural world. Of<br />
Ants and Men is a film about the life and extraordinary scientific odyssey of one of America’s greatest living thinkers, E.O. Wilson.<br />
A number of “critter pictures,” providing rare windows into the fascinating lives of wild animals, are sprinkled across the festival<br />
schedule. All film festival screenings are free and open to the public. Seating in the visitor center auditorium is limited and will be<br />
filled on a first-come, first-served basis (with a capacity of 85). A complete film festival schedule is available on the refuge web site:<br />
http://www.fws.gov/refuge/parker_river/. For further information, please contact the refuge at (978) 465-5753.<br />
for all older citizens.<br />
