Wild & Scenic Film Festival

SYRCL’s (South Yuba River Citizens League) 24th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival will take place February 19–23, 2026, featuring another powerful lineup of films designed to change your world.

The festival proudly returns to the historic Miners Foundry Cultural Center from February 20–22, for specific film showings, bringing world-class environmental and adventure films back to the heart of Nevada City. Each year, Wild & Scenic draws top filmmakers, celebrities, leading activists, social innovators, and renowned adventurers to venues throughout Nevada City and Grass Valley, California. This year’s festival will again be available both in-person and virtually.

Recognized as one of the nation’s premier environmental and adventure film festivals, Wild & Scenic showcases outstanding filmmaking, stunning cinematography, and compelling storytelling that inform, inspire, and spark solutions to restore the Earth and strengthen human communities. Festival-goers can expect award-winning films exploring nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, agriculture, and more.

SYRCL is a grassroots organization based in Nevada City, California, dedicated since 1983 to protecting and restoring rivers throughout the regional watershed, from source to sea. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival places SYRCL’s local work within a global environmental and social context, reminding audiences that they are part of a worldwide movement for a more wild and scenic future. Following the February festival, Wild & Scenic tours nationally, sharing its films at more than 100 events hosted by organizations that use the festival to inspire action in their own communities.
