A long weekend of film and activism awaits you at this festival. Featuring more than 150 films that deal with subjects ranging from sustainable agriculture to extreme sports, it’s a can’t-miss. You’ll hear from rock climbing superstar Tommy Caldwell as he introduces his film about scaling an impossible face of El Capitan in Yosemite, The Dawn Wall, or CEO of Sierra Nevada Brewing Jeff White as he introduces The Death Ride, a film about cycling. There’s too much to do and see, so come do your best. Throughout Nevada City and Grass Valley, wildandscenicfilmfestival.org.
