The DREFF and ITSC Promote Sustainable Development Through Environmental Film Screenings

The Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) and the Instituto Técnico Superior Comunitario (ITSC), will present an environmental film cycle over several weeks to promote sustainable development and environmental awareness among the entire student community, teachers, and others involved in this educational institution.

The first film shown as part of this joint initiative between the DREFF and ITSC was LandFill
Harmonic, which was enjoyed by more than 70 people, both students and professors, on October 30th.

In the following weeks, other films will be presented such as SlingShot, Cotton Road, and Dark Side of the Chew, among others.

The Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival maintains a Year-Round Environmental Film Screenings program, which offers the opportunity to audiences around
the country to enjoy the most interesting films on environmental issues that have been shown in previous editions of the Festival. This widens the scope of efforts to raise awareness and deepens the existing understanding of environmental issues among the Dominican public.
