The 2014 Green Lens Environmental Film Festival will be held in DeKalb this Monday through Thursday, February 24-27, 2014! Join in for a celebration that puts our planet in focus. The Green Lens Environmental Film Festival will include film screenings, kids’ activities, workshops, and more to help attendees learn how small changes can make a big impact on the health of our world.
The Film Festival will be held at various locations throughout downtown DeKalb and on the NIU campus, see schedule below. Come to O’Leary’s Restaurant & Pub for both the Kick Off and Wrap Parties.
