Join the Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation for the 8th Annual Earth Film Festival, an inspiring evening of storytelling, networking, and fundraising for local conservation and environmental education initiatives.
This year’s feature film, All Too Clear, uses cutting-edge underwater drones to explore how quadrillions of tiny invasive mussels, known as quaggas, are re-engineering the ecosystem of the Great Lakes at a scale not seen since the glaciers.
To capture this epic change, the husband-and-wife filmmaking team of Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert spent more than 150 days filming underwater, making it the most ambitious underwater film ever made about the Great Lakes. Part scientific exploration, part natural history adventure – the film showcases freshwater wildlife and environments like never before.
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to hear directly from the filmmakers and see the underwater drone up close. This is more than just a film screening, it’s an evening to connect with fellow environmentalists, support local conservation efforts, and leave feeling inspired.
The event will take place at The Roxy Theatre in Owen Sound on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Doors open at 6:00pm, allowing guests to network and bid on silent auction items before the film begins at 7:00pm.
The silent auction will feature a variety of locally handcrafted products, services, and experiences, with proceeds supporting conservation projects and environmental education in the region.
Schools are invited to attend a special matinee presentation at 10:00am, providing an opportunity for students to learn about the impact of invasive species and the importance of protecting freshwater ecosystems.
Tickets for the evening presentation are $30, while school matinee tickets are $7 per student. Tickets can be purchased through The Roxy Theatre by calling 519-371-2833 or visiting www.roxytheatre.ca.
