For over 25 years, the "Visions of Nature-Voices of Nature" Environmental Film Festival has brought compelling and important films to the Tampa Bay area and the Eckerd College community to raise awareness and promote discussion of matters relating to nature, place and the environment.

Film scholars as well as established and emerging filmmakers from around the world engage the audience in a lively dialogue about the environmental perspectives contained in documentary, animated, experimental and feature films.

Screenings for this year's festival will take place in the Miller Auditorium at Eckerd College with the exception of the March 1 film which will be screened outside at the Eckerd College Community Farm.
