Dear Colleagues,

Dear UNESCO International geoscience and Geoparks programme community;

We would like to introduce you the Earth Futures Festival [1], an
international film and video event showcasing the important role
geoscience plays in tackling our most pressing global challenges:
climate change, the management of our natural resources, transitions to
cleaner energy, mitigation of risks from natural hazards and building
sustainable cities.

  The Festival is organised  by the IGCP Project 685: Geology for
Sustainable Development [2]  in collaboration with the International
Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) 60th Anniversary [3] celebrations
and  UNESCO Earth sciences and Geoparks section [2].

  The event will take place in September and October 2022 with screenings
and award events hosted at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris (October
2022), and venues in Sydney and New York.

  Professionals and students in the realms of Earth Science, the Arts and
Science Communication along with community associations, school students
and Indigenous peoples are encouraged to submit works in video format to
the Festival. The work of short-listed finalists will be presented
during the festival. Works can range from feature length documentaries,
to short video pieces and spoken stories, through to visual and musical
performances.

  This year’s themes are:

  	* Dynamic Earth
	* Future Earth
	* Human Connections

  If would like to learn more about the festival please watch our
promotional video [4] and submit your work here [5].  We will appreciate
if you could share this call with your networks.

  The team is looking for sponsors for several awards, please do contact
myself and Dr Heather Handley (heather en earthfuturesfestival.com) if your
organization would consider to support this initiative.

Many thanks
