Cine Gaia, 1st Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden International Environmental Film Festival

We are pleased to announce Cine Gaia, 1st Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden International Environmental Film Festival and open the call for films. The festival will run from October 31-November 9, 2008 in Rio de Janeiro Brazil at the Espaço Tom Jobim located in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden and at the Centro Cultural dos Correios.

Films and videos of any length, genre, origin or production date that treat the environmental theme will be accepted. We define environmental film as a work that treats environmental questions, be it a documentary or a fiction, wherein the relationship between man and nature is one of the main elements.

This first edition of Cine Gaia is in celebration of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden Bicentennial. During the ten days of the film festival, debates, round table discussions and workshops will be among the diverse activities organized to raise environmental awareness. All events and screenings will be offered free of charge.

We are the environmental film festival in Rio de Janeiro at one of the oldest institutions in Brazil: The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, one of the 10 most important worldwide, is part of the Ministry of the Environment. This institution was the impetus behind scientific expeditions bringing back new plants and promoting knowledge about Brazil's Megadiversity. The special situation of Rio de Janeiro as a major city with environmental problems alongside remnants of the highly endangered Atlantic Forest serves as a perfect springboard for discussing and promoting the environmental films

Registration for participation in the Festival is open from August 22 to September 22, 2008. Visit www.cinegaia.org to access the registration form. The deadline for electronic pre-submission via email is September 22, 2008, and discs for viewing purposes and accompanying material must arrive at the Festival address no later than September 22, 2008.

Please be so kind as to forward this message to other people, associations, foundations or institutions which might be interested in this event.

Cordially,
Festival Organizers
