REEL EARTH: Past, Present, Future
Reel Earth is the leading film festival in the Southern Hemisphere with a focus on nature and the environment. Hosted in New Zealand’s magnificent Manawatu region, a thriving riverside community with a rich culture of heartland values, commitment to sustainability, and vibrant science and education realm.
Reel Earth sprung from humble origins in 2004, thanks to a small band of friends with a shared passion for film and a sustainable future. Their vision, to encourage environmental awareness, sustainability and changing attitudes through film, continues to underpin the festival. Today Reel Earth has flourished to become recognised by filmmakers and audience alike as a festival that seeks, selects and accolades the best new film from around New Zealand and around the world, in a juried annual competition.
In 2013, Reel Earth’s limited Festival Season runs from 14-22 June.
