Bats fishing. Boys and butterflies. Girls on glaciers.<\/p>\n

The Wild and Scenic Film Festival<\/a>, North America\u2019s largest environmental film festival, returns to Houston\u2019s historic River Oaks Theater<\/a> Jan. 28 and 29.<\/p>\n

The touring festival of short films is always exciting and enlightening, providing Houstonians with eye-opening insights into new places, new adventures, and new research and ideas.<\/p>\n

The festival features ten short films<\/a>, with different films shown each night from 7 to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to buy tickets.<\/a><\/p>\n

The popular event is sponsored for the sixth straight year by the Citizens Environmental Coalition<\/a>, founded almost fifty years ago by a group of women active in environmental causes and quality of life issues. Among them was Terry Hershey<\/a>, who helped save Buffalo Bayou from being channelized and lined with concrete like White Oak and Brays bayous.<\/p>\n

The festival was started almost forty years ago by activists in California determined to protect the South Yuba Rive<\/a>r. It is now the focus of nearly 250 events around the country.<\/p>\n
