HEALING THE SWEET FLOWING WATERS | 11.35 minutes | by Paul & Paulette Rezendes | from: Maine | Maine Premiere | Short synopsis: Tucked away in a remote corner of Maine's western mountains, the Kennebago River—known by the Wabanaki as The Land of Sweet Flowing Waters—is one of the last remaining strongholds for wild, native Eastern brook trout in the United States. Through stunning imagery and storytelling, the film follows a dedicated team of conservationists, led by Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust, who are working to restore the Kennebago River, reconnect its waters, and create the conditions for wild brook trout to thrive once again.
STORIES TO SAVE US: THE SALTMARSH SPARROW | 36.33 minutes | by Melanie Finn, Matthew Aeberhard | from: United States | Short synopsis: A pair of filmmakers share their research and filming challenges while making a sequence on the endangered Saltmarsh Sparrow.
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: THE CROOKED RIVER SALMON STRONGHOLD | 17.05 minutes | by Erik Heumiller | from: Maine | Short synopsis: This is the story of the Edes Falls Dam removal on the Crooked River — and the plans, hopes, challenges, and partners that helped ensure miles of river remained accessible for wild landlocked salmon in Maine. The film explores the dam removal from multiple perspectives along the river, to foster a better understanding of these restoration efforts, as conservationists look upstream to what’s next.
