About the festival

Tune in live on Thursday, or watch at your leisure through March 15

Join the live event on Thursday, March 11 at 6:30pm Pacific (films start at 7:00pm), or watch anytime March 12–15 (your ticket includes unlimited viewing through March 15).

This Wild & Scenic Film Festival hosted by the Mono Lake Committee is a fundraiser for our beloved Outdoor Education Center (OEC) program which has connected youth, environmental and social justice groups, and other residents of Los Angeles to a source of their water in the Mono Basin for over 25 years. We’re excited to share the films we have selected for this year’s festival, many of which celebrate themes and messages that are often experienced during OEC participants’ week long stays in the Mono Basin. During the festival, you will also learn more about the OEC program from staff and special guests. All event proceeds directly support the OEC.
