---More epic #CommUNITY ---
For many years our #flagmountainfilm youth-centric programs have evolved and grown. When we started working with @azulitaproject as our environmental nonprofit partner, we had the amazing chance to co-create a youth film and bring a laser focus on ocean conservation & plastic pollution
**
Filmmaker & animator @pauljamesperreault , producer & marine biologist @mariaatsea worked with some of the most incredible young minds @pineforest_charterschool AND their parents!
**
This film "The Last Straw" debuted at the film fest in 2018, went onto win the middle school category @youthmakingripples , where they presented at #GEER & won a shark-tagging expedition with @angariocean
**
The film went onto join the film tour for @savethewavescoalition & was accepted into @patagoniasm Short Film Fest the same year!
**
This film was completely youth-led; the writing, the direction, the props (ALL recycled material), the voice-over & original score!
**
Funded by @azulitaproject w/ epic support @aroundthemountaindental @mountainsportsflagstaff @wolf.gumerman @babbitts_backcountry & our community donations & thanks to @jeremiedalaba for getting us a table at @flagstaff_hullabaloo
**
Our mantra for the whole process, "When you are eating pineapple, pineapple is eating you😂"

#flagmountainfilm and empowering our youth go hand

#flagmountainfilm and empowering our youth go hand in hand! Through the years programs have evolved and changed, but a huge part of our mission is to nurture filmmaking, and create youth-centered programs!
**
Did you know we have been running an incredible Student Program since 2004? We bring an array of awe-inspiring films from all around the world to middle and high school students!
**
In 2009/10 the team gained seed funding to create the first 'Emerging Film Program' and that year the students created a narrative feature "Writers Block" under the tuition of Program Director & local #flagstaff filmmaker #denisestilley
**
Fast forward to 2018 with @pauljamesperreault @mariaatsea guiding our @pineforest_charterschool students in an animation short "The Last Straw" which won their age category in @youthmakingripples competition! Funded by @azulitaproject with support from @aroundthemountaindental @mountainsportsflagstaff @babbitts_backcountry & @wolf.gumerman
**
And again to our 21st Anniversary special Youth Photography Workshop with @deidrapeaches local Diné filmmaker and cinematographer! This was a free event and the youngest participant was 4 YEARS OLD! Organized by our Indigenous Program Director @ccoolio2 with support from @beyond_flg
**
And to our 22nd year and beyond, the sky is the limit! If you have any ideas on youth projects - please reach out to us!

Part of the magic of #flagmountainfilm is working with our local businesses and their vision of what an event would look like, and how to reimagine a space to provide a hell of a cinematic experience. In this case the much anticipated Adventure Night!
***
Circa 2020 and one of the most fun events "Let's break out the rafts" with Mick & the epic crew @snowmountainriver
**
This eve was particularly fun because we organized a huge raffle, with so many items including our first adventure film-inspired live painting with @jillsans @the_heartbox
**
As we are #singleuseplasticfree our long-term environmental nonprofit partner @azulitaproject provided all the reusable cups for the wonderful partner libations from @darkskybrewingco @wanderlust_brewing @lumberyardbrew @historicbrewingcompany @majestic_marketplace
**
We have loved working with Mick & and team, because they are all about making the outdoors accessible, and cultivating community!

As we enter the last month of our 21 years on this

As we enter the last month of our 21 years on this big blue planet, we wanted to take a deep dive into this amazing #flagmountainfilm CommUNITY! The films, the creators, the events, the local businesses & the people!
**
We normally collaborate with up to 50 sponsors and partners every year to open up a window to the world, and we wanted to share some of our fav moments and share what people have to say about our ever growing & evolving collaborations
**
At the heart of everything we do, is Community, Collaboration & Connection. The fact that the passion still runs deep, is firstly because of our love of film, the unwavering support of our audience and local businesses, and the creative freedom given to all our teams to produce so many impactful programs & events
**
Here's to a tonne of love coming your way from everything that makes Flag Mountain Film Fest what it is!

"Inhabitants" @inhabitantsfilm
Directed by Costa Boutsikaris @inhabitfilms & @prettyskies
**
Inhabitants follows five Native American Tribes across deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies as they restore their traditional land management practices. For millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain traditional land management practices. From deserts, coastlines, forests, mountains, and prairies, Native communities are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America's original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.
