About
In an era when attention spans are shortening and environmental issues are deepening, the need for cutting edge short-form environmental media is vital.
GreenShorts Miami is a new media festival designed to highlight short, spreadable environmental stories on a wide range of topics currently impacting South Florida, from pollution to sea-level rise, sunny-day flooding, harmful algal blooms, endangered or invasive species, habitat destruction, and illegal wildlife trafficking.
Screened at the iconic Cosford Cinema, the chosen location for Leonardo DiCaprio's and Steven Fishers' Before the Flood (2016) world premiere, the festival will take place as part of the University of Miami's Earth Day celebrations around April 22, 2019.
