community and our unique piece of Iowa. Located in Ames, IA next to Prairie Moon Winery.

Alluvial is located at 3715 West 190 th St Ames IA 50014, Ames

Film Festival Goals

 To educate the public about the conservation and heritage work that Prairie Rivers of Iowa does

and has been doing for 20 years.

 A fundraiser, hence the ticket/registration.

 A chance for the public to learn more about the October virtual film festival which Prairie Rivers

has designed in partnership with Wild and Scenic Film Festival (California).

o Wild & Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental awareness and a love for

nature–through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-

goers to learn more about what they can do to take care of the planet.

o Our 5-day flagship festival is traditionally held annually in Nevada City and Grass Valley,

California. Featuring 100+ films, workshops, visiting filmmaker and activist talks, family-

friendly programs, art exhibitions, parties, and more–you won’t want to miss this

festival! In 2020 we will make that easier to do by bringing the festival to a 100% virtual

platform!

 

You can buy tickets for the film festival at the event on September 11 th or online at www.prrcd.org
