Join us at the Library for a very special two-day screening event featuring inspiring short films from the 2026 Wild & Scenic Film Festival, curated especially for our Coachella Valley community. Kicking off on Friday, we’ll be showcasing a powerful selection of
award-winning environmental and adventure films that celebrate the natural world, spark curiosity, and highlight stories of conservation, resilience, and exploration from around the globe.
On Saturday, we’ll present a new program designed specifically for kids and families, beginning with an engaging reptile talk followed by a fun, family-friendly selection of short films everyone can enjoy together.
As the largest environmental film festival in the world, Wild & Scenic offers unforgettable storytelling that inspires connection and care for our planet.
Check our website and look for email updates with more details and the list of featured films in the weeks leading up to the event.
We will also present the finalists from our inaugural wildlife photo contest.
Free and open to all, thanks to the generosity of the Guardians of the Wild. No reservations needed — please arrive early, as space may be limited.
