EcoArt South Florida - Trailer from Southern Land Films

 

Check out this beautiful sizzle reel created by EcoArt South Florida! This film shows how important Ecological art can be to our communities. EcoArt South Florida is currently seeking funding to finish the production of this film. A little can go a long way...  http://razoo.com/story/ecoart-film

 

              

This film project shows how art can fuse with environmental science and community engagement to protect and preserve fragile and endangered ecologies.

Since EASF’s founding in 2007, the number of Florida artists engaged in the demanding trans-disciplinary practice of EcoArt has doubled! And they are creating stunning, ecologically productive artworks at the rate of 1-2 a year.

Our project documents the phenomenon of EcoArt’s growth in South Florida, addressing the ups and downs of the journey. The film’s perspective will be through the eyes and experiences of the artists and their collaborators who will candidly respond to the key question: “Why EcoArt?” 

We believe our story of how EcoArt has become a powerful force, in a state with multiple, serious ecological problems, can spark the emergence of similar trans-disciplinary efforts elsewhere.

EcoArt South Florida is teaming up with Miami filmmakers Southern Land Films to mark EcoArt practice’s arrival at “critical mass” stage in the region. Our documentary, which is already underway, will profile 11 of the seventeen EcoArt works that have been completed or are in progress. We are thrilled that our efforts to catalyze the emergence of South Florida as a new, vibrant center for EcoArt practice are working!
