Planet in Focus:Toronto International Environmental Film & Video Festival

September 28 to October 3, 2004

Recognizing that the 'environment' is contested terrain, both as a
biophysical entity and as a philosophical frame, Planet in Focus invites
submissions of films and videos, in all genres, that critically examine the
concept of 'environment' and challenge current human/nature relations.
Special consideration will be paid to:
? works that push the boundaries of the accepted notions of 'environment'
? works that present cultural perspectives that are under-represented in
Canada
? works that will have their world or Canadian premiere at Planet in Focus:
Toronto International Environmental Film & Video Festival
