Austin Grown and Gone

Austin Grown and Gone

In June and July, Austin Grown, a collaborative initiative between One Earth Collective and BUILD Chicago, embarked on a transformative six-week journey of planting, nurturing, and learning. Participants went into the realms of environmental stewardship, racial and social justice, and personal well-being through engaging activities, including hands-on gardening, cooking, and educational excursions.

How We Chose This Year’s Change-making Slate of Films

How We Chose This Year’s Change-making Slate of Films

Ever wondered how the films for One Earth Film Festival are selected? Reviewing films is a volunteer role, and one way that you can get involved with the film fest next year. Film reviewing usually starts in the summer—we call it our "summer movie club."

Many film festivals seek submissions, but we have a unique model in that we go out looking for the best of the best films from all over the world. We look at other film festivals, industry awards, what's hot in popular culture, and recommendations from festival friends.

Chicago Environmental Advocates You Should Know

Chicago Environmental Advocates You Should Know

Festival audiences expect to leave screenings with information that will guide them in taking the next steps on their sustainability journey. That is the Power of We. When people feel connected to others by a common passion or commitment, much gets done. Problems are solved. Communities become healthier. The Earth gets healed.

Chicago is fortunate to have many advocates on the front lines of climate action and environmental and social justice.
