Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) 20th Anniversary is February 20-23 in Golden, CO, and films will be available online February 23-March 1. I am excited that this year, Saturday films (1pm through the end of the day) and the party have Open Captions (OC), which are easily identifiable by the HLAA Colorado sponsorship logo. Roots & Reels Evening Soiree party ticket includes all food and drink, silent auction, and announcement of the award-winning films! Auction opens online on February 10 at 10am and ends during the party on February 21 at 7:15pm. All films shown online are 100% Closed Caption (CC), (OC), or English-subtitled. As a CEFF film judge and committee member, I have worked hard to make films more accessible to people with hearing loss and others who benefit from captions. I hope you can join us or watch an inspiring environmental film or a curated film collection.
