The 2022 EarthX Film Festival theme is “A Celebration of the Outdoors” and is the first film festival ever hosted in the Dallas Arts District. The festival highlights films that celebrate nature and outdoor adventure stories exploring the environment, conservation, climate challenges and science while honoring the heroes working to protect our planet. By engaging the audience with spirited and diverse films, we deliver the message that the more time one spends in nature, the more moved they are to protect it.
This year’s festival has 24 features and 54 shorts along with an art installation and panel discussions. The festival’s opening night is the world premiere of Ben Master’s film Deep in the Heart, narrated by Academy Award Winner Matthew McConaughey. It’s the first blue-chip wildlife documentary ever produced about Texas and celebrates conservation success stories while discussing some of the most important ecological issues through the eyes of wildlife and wild places. Filmed over two years, it showcases the breathtaking beauty and hidden wilds of Texas and recognizes Texas’ conservation importance on a continental scale.
Also, the lineup includes We Feed People, which follows renowned Chef José Andrés and his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, on their decade’s long campaign to serve meals to disaster affected zones all over the world. It chronicles the evolution of a scrappy group of grassroots volunteers as they become one of the most highly regarded humanitarian aid organizations and is directed by Academy Award Winner Ron Howard. U.S. Military Veteran, Eric Grandon, is transformed when he discovers beekeeping as a way of mending the deep wounds of his PTSD. Eric shares the healing power of beekeeping with other veterans and first responders.
The festival features stunning venues with food and beverages in close proximity to the screenings. We are showcasing talented singers and speakers to what will be an amazing and unforgettable weekend.
