As with many SF Indie productions, the Green Film Festival of San Francisco makes it a goal of not only uplifting works from around the globe but also emphasizing the Bay Area filmmaking community.
The Green Film Festival is returning Friday through Sunday at the Roxie Theater in the Mission. An eclectic blend of shorts, features and documentaries, all focused on environmental matters, spring up at the 2022 Green Film Festival of San Francisco, set to hit Roxie Theater’s screens in San Francisco Thursday through Sunday. It also will be available to stream Thursday through April 24.
As with many SF Indie productions, the Green Film Festival of San Francisco makes it a goal of not only uplifting works from around the globe but also emphasizing the Bay Area filmmaking community, a trend reflected in its immensely relatable opening night feature, “Do I Need This?” “Yellowstone 88: Song of Fire” is a beautifully animated, award-winning short that’s directed by Mill Valley’s Jerry van de Beek and Betsy De Fries, and gives us a poetic overview of the devastating 1988 lighting fire in America’s oldest national park, Yellowstone. Peter Coyote narrates with eloquent refinement, reciting the lovely poem “Song of Fire” by De Fries with such grace. It’s short but ever-so-significant.
The first film in the series is “Bad Roads,” writer/director Natalya Vorozhbit’s debut feature and Ukraine’s official selection for the 2022 Oscars. It’s set on the volatile roads of the Donbass and strings together four vignettes.
