Energy issues are a particular focus, Riley said. Film categories available this year are Full-Length Feature, Documentary, Florida High School Student PSA, National High School Short Film, International College Student Short Film, and Florida Local Film. The theme of “Celebrate Nature” tinges every story. Attendants will be able to vote for their favorites, and the winners will be presented a prize at the end of the event. More than 3,000 attendants turned out in 2012 to learn more about the dangers threatening the world. Since the festival’s inception, each year’s attendance has grown, overwhelming venues like the Hippodrome with environmentally conscious citizens. This year, Cinema Verde will plant its eco-friendly soapbox at Jolie on 6 West University Ave. “In the middle of our third year, it just hit me,” Riley said. “‘This is going to work. We can keep going.’” With the festival’s sustainability no longer a concern, Riley and her team are now forging ahead into what has proved to be a great success in the community. “We’ve passed the learning curve at this point,” she said. “People get it; we have serious problems. Now it’s about The 2013 Cinema Verde Festival will begin on Feb. 9 and last until Feb. 14. ‘what can we do? How can we fi x these problems?’” Riley’s current plans for the celebration include the recruitment of at least six directors, one special person for each day of the festival. An awards ceremony will take place on the fi nal day to honor these guests for their visual calls for activism. Several of the fi lms this year will be world premieres, while others have already won prestigious awards. The ceremony will thank all for their efforts. Cinema Verde will also have a Valentine’s Day party on the fi nal day, “the whole love the planet/your neighbors/animals thing,” Riley said. She encourages people from Gainesville and the surrounding cities to come and expand their knowledge of the challenges pressing upon the world. “I’m not just presenting the problems,” Riley said. “I’m presenting what we can do. Don’t just watch the fi lms and walk away. Hang around and get involved.” s 16 February 2013 seniortimesmagazine.com
