BIFF Screening: The Human Element

Join us for the first film screened as part of the Berkshire International Film Festival’s second annual Environmental Film Focus series. Hosted by Bard College at Simon's Rock, films will be screened in the McConnell Theater in the Daniel Arts Center, followed by informative Q&A sessions. 

The Human Element - directed by Matthew Testa
Renowned environmental photographer James Balog (Chasing Ice) uses his camera to reveal how environmental change is affecting the lives of everyday Americans. Following the four classical elements--air, earth, fire and water--to frame his journey, Balog explores wildfires, hurricanes, sea level rise, coal miners, and the changes in the air we breathe. With compassion and heart, The Human Element tells an urgent story while giving inspiration for a more balanced relationship between humanity and nature.
