A special selection of short films was successfully presented during the IV Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF), celebrated in more than 10 cities of the Caribbean country. The list included: El agua de la tierra, Maxtlitlán, En un ser vivo, El funeral de don Jején, Burning in the Sun, Field Chronicles: Chingaza—The Water’s Journey, Save the Devil and Circular.

Venues in several cities such as Centro Cultural Narciso González, Centro Cultural Perelló, Biblioteca Infantil y Juvenil República Dominicana and Casa de la Cultura de Constanza screened the short films program. After the screenings, audiences joined national and international experts as well as invited film’ directors and producers of these shorts, who gathered in interesting discussion panels and Q&A.

The short films were very well received as the attendees asked numerous pertinent questions calling for the creation of environmental education workshops and made comments about the importance of water and other natural resources.

These presentations were part of the IV Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF), celebrated September 10-14, 2014. For more information visit www.dreff.org and follow @MuestraCine #DREFF and #RDsostenible.
