The Forum for the Conservation of the Patagonian Sea backed the 3rd edition of the International Environmental Film Festival of Patagonia. Over four days, more than 4,000 spectators took part in this activity that aims at motivating audiences and generate debates, an idea synthesized as “see to raise awareness”. Same as in previous editions, all PEFF activities were free of charge.
Thousands of people could enjoy from October 3 to 6, in Puerto Madryn, Chubut (Argentina) a proposal for all the senses, in search of greater environmental awareness.
The excellent official selection of feature films and short films formed the long-awaited billboard of projections that competed to be selected by the jury as the best in their field. The Forum Coordinator, Alexandra Sapoznikow, was one of the challenged evaluators in charge.
