the festival experience

The 8th Annual American Conservation Film Festival will be held November 4-7, 2010, in historic Shepherdstown WV, a mere 70 miles up the Potomac River from Washington DC, but a world away.  

Enjoy over two dozen high quality conservation films over 4 days at the state of the art Byrd Auditorium at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Conservation Training Center, the historic Opera House Theatre in charming downtown Shepherdstown, and Shepherd University. 

Hear from the filmmakers themselves and experts on the conservation issues raised in the films, to learn more about the art of filmmaking and solutions to pressing issues of our times.  Join us at our Meet the Filmmakers reception to mingle with others interested in conservation and film.
