2023 Conserve Sauk Film Fest

Conserve Sauk Film Fest is designed to celebrate and educate our community around conservation issues and our relationship to the environment.

The 2023 Festival will include screenings of a wide array of conservation-focused films. Films including Sacred Cow, Sym-BEE-o-sis, Breaking Trail, and Era of Megafires will be featured among with many other incredible films at this year’s festival. The festival also has the honor of premiering an extended cut of the film Where Cranes Dance.
The complete film lineup can be found on the website at www.conservesaukfilmfest.org. The event will also include facilitated discussions on the films and their themes. Local organizations will share information about conservation efforts and opportunities for involvement.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is appreciated but not required to attend this event.

Through this festival we seek to better understand and appreciate the natural beauty and resources of the area, celebrate our conservation successes, reflect upon our relationship to the environment, address challenges that we face, consider how we can be part of the solution, and connect as a county and a community over our shared world. Our concept of community includes the land itself. As Aldo Leopold, one of the many conservation figures to leave his mark on Sauk County, said, “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”We invite you to be a part of this project and celebrate the beauty and conservation legacy and future of Sauk County.
