Description of Pictures: Eric Moe Sustainability Film Award
The Eric Moe Sustainability Film Award is co-presented by the National Wildlife Federation.
Established for the 2014 Festival by Julia and Richard Moe in memory of their son, Eric, to honor his strong interest in film and his commitment to sustainability, this award recognizes a short film for its inventive solutions to balancing the needs of humans and nature. The award includes a $5,000 cash prize.
Award winner Bluebird Man, directed by Neil Paprocki and Matthew Podolosky, will screen at the Carnegie Institution for Science, followed by the two finalists El Cacao and Moving the Giants. All three films are DC premieres. Moving the Giants will be introduced by its producer, Ted Wood. El Cacao will be introduced by Greg McGruder, Vice President of National Geographic.
Following the screenings, the subject of the winning film, self-taught conservationist “Bluebird Man” Al Larson joins a discussion, alongside its co-director, Matthew Podolsky, and editor, Emily Bender, moderated by Greg McGruder.
At 92, Larson has dedicated 35 years of his life to saving North America’s bluebirds by maintaining a network of over 300 “nestboxes” in the highlands of Idaho that provide vital support to a recovering population. We’re thrilled that Larson will be at the screening in person to answer questions.
El Cacao, directed by Michelle Aguilar follows an indigenous cacao farmer in the rainforest of Panama’s Bocas del Toro to reveal the hidden inequalities in chocolate product and the meaning of “Fair Trade.” In the Michael Ramsey directed Moving Giants, an arborist’s near-death experience causes him to realize what he has to do to combat climate change: migrate the California coast redwoods – some of nature’s most prolific recyclers of CO2.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

12. MOE1_160317_492.JPG: Matthew Podolsky Matthew began shooting for his first film project, the hour long documentary Scavenger Hunt, while working as a biologist for the California condor recovery program. Since then Matthew helped found the non-profit production company Wild Lens, and served as the co-director and producer for the Emmy-nominated film Bluebird Man. Matthew is a producer for Wild Lens' documentary web series, Eyes on Conservation, and also serves as the host and producer of the Eyes on Conservation podcast – a weekly interview series featuring top scientists and filmmakers from around the globe. Scavenger Hunt, Matthew's first documentary project, focused on the recovery of the California condor and the issue of lead poisoning in wildlife. The film had an award winning festival run in 2012 and was released by Cinema Libre Studio in March of 2013. The above from http://dceff.org/filmmaker/podolsky-matthew/

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
