This environmental film and video group holds an annual fall festival showcasing work from Toronto and around the world, but it doesn't stop there. They facilitate a monthly screening series "Mixed greens" at the Gardiner Museum,

as well as a "Touring Programme", which brings content to locations and venues across North America and beyond. Each screening and special event is focussed on accomplishing their mission:

 

"Throughout the year and at our annual festival, Planet in Focus screens outstanding and compelling environmental films and videos created by Canadian and international filmmakers from

all regions around the world. Here you will find environmental artistic expression used as a catalyst for public awareness, discussion, and appropriate action on the ecological and social health of the planet."

In addition to a youth education component, "Youth Camera Action". They also run an "Education Refrence Library" in the Distillery District, where their complete archives are available for viewing. Contact them for bookings and details.
