    Film Synopsis:

    TERRA is an interactive film about the environment, presented in a platform through which the audience mixes in with the content by responding to a section of questions that are related to the topic. The film has other segments, among them a short intervention by a well-known Dominican biologist who relates his experience in caring for the environment. Two other important sections are: positive actions that people can put into practice to benefit the planet and a short 3D film to be shown permanently at the Museum of Industry in Paris. The short film looks at the worldwide situation of global warming and the environment.

    Biography of Director Juan Emilio Yanes:

    Juan Emilio Yanes, of US nationality, came to live in the Dominican Republic with his Cuban parents when he was 3-years-old. He is a Business Administrator by profession and, up to very recently, was the Manager of Sales in his family business.

    Juan Emilio, with a desire to combine a series of passions, decided to establish his own company, Ztadium Studios with the goal of creating shows and interactive films that add value to the film experience for the viewer by getting them involved and being part of the content.

    His first project is the expression of his love of nature mixed with a desire to produce material that will constitute a positive contribution to society. In doing so, he has taken into consideration an educational dynamic that achieves a sensibility on the topic of development. It is with this in mind that he created what is today called TERRA.

DREFF Year Round Programs

The Eco-Huertos Program seeks to support the creation of organic and sustainable vegetable gardens in schools and communities throughout the Dominican Republic. Through ongoing field activities, the program bolsters the natural sciences curriculum in the schools.

The contest is divided into two categories: short films and public service announcements. With this contest, GFDD and FUNGLODE seek to promote environmental filmmaking as a platform to educate and raise awareness.

The ReCrearte Program aims to raise awareness of the 3Rs of solid waste management: reduce, reuse, recycle. The workshops also emphasize and demonstrate how recycling waste into art can empower individuals and communities alike.

As part of its mission to reach more communities, institutions and individuals around the country, the DR Environmental Film Festival organizes film screenings year-round, providing the opportunity to bring successful film programs to new and remote communities.

Complementing the DREFF's mission, the GFDD has risen to the challenge and, since 2012, has started producing its own short documentary films that highlight and raise awareness about important local environmental issues.
