Ecolnoa Film Festival  back to campaigns overview
The Israeli International Environmental Film Festival, or Ecolnoa, aims to put the environment high in the public agenda and enrich Israel's culture with new and creative environmental films. Ecocinema Israel, Tel Aviv, May 21-24, 2007 In May 2007, Ecolnoa took place in the heart of Tel Aviv at the Tel Aviv Cinemateque. This years festival was our largest festival yet! The festival included screenings of documentaries, animation films, feature films, short films, international and local films from different cultural sects of our society; attendance of film directors to discuss their films; and panels and discussions about environmental issues. Additionally there was a photography exhibition and a student short-film competition. On Tuesday, May 22, the eve of Shavuot holiday, on the outside plaza of the cinemateque, we held the first environmental event in Tel Aviv. The event will included an organic food market, live music and theatre performances, guided tours of the "natural" city, and demonstrations of ecological ways-of-living in the city. All activities were carried out with ecologically-sustainable methods: solar energy, waste-recycling, and collection of organic matter. This year Ecocinema will be entering its fifth year in
Israel! Screenings will also be held in Rosh Pina (November) and other
cinemateques throughout the country. For more information, or to join

Campaigns/ Projects:
For
years environmental issues have been pushed to the margins of the
Israeli public agenda. As a small and densely populated country, Israel
cannot afford to keep neglecting its Environment. Although this has
begun to change in recent years, thanks to a vibrant and constantly
growing local environmental movement, still one of the most effective
and popular means of communication, television and cinema, has only
rarely been used to tell the environment's story.
