Clean River Partners invites you to join us for the 9th Downstream Environmental Film Festival, a celebration of art, storytelling, and environmental action.

This year’s theme—“Transformation”—reflects the powerful ways water reshapes our landscapes, the ongoing changes within our environment, and the creativity required to adapt when our resources are limited. Through this lens, we’ll explore how communities, ecosystems, and individuals evolve in the face of environmental challenges.

Featuring a dynamic selection of films from local, national, and international filmmakers, the Downstream Environmental Film Festival highlights the interconnectedness of art and advocacy. Each film sheds light on critical issues such as water quality, conservation, and sustainability—topics that may seem distant but have deep roots in our own backyards.

More than just a film series, the festival is a space for conversation and connection. Together, we’ll celebrate creativity, spark dialogue, and inspire action toward a more resilient and sustainable future.

Join us this February as we move downstream together—toward understanding, transformation, and change.

Can’t make it on this date? No problem! We’re screening the film again in Northfield on February 10, in Cannon Falls on February 17, in Faribault on February 19, and in Owatonna on February 24.
