Connecting the Drops

This local short-film competition and screening aims to raise awareness of the importance and perils of water as it makes the journey from storm to stream. Michigan's water system is a vast and interconnected cycle, from raindrop to trickling stream, and large river to the mighty Great Lakes. Deeply intertwined within this water cycle are people, places, and our heritage. Faced with the burden of legacy pollution and new emerging threats to freshwater, it is more important then ever to share our stories. We have a unique opportunity and deep obligation to protect and celebrate the resource that sustains our sense of adventure, our identity, and our very existence. Suggested themes: Conservation, Recreation, Adventure, Pollution, Water Cycle, Heritage, Innovation
