EarthX Film presents “A Party for the Planet,” an evening featuring film, discussion and music. Fort Worth native Abraham Alexander will put on both a short, acoustic performance to begin the event, and a full set with his band to close out the evening.

The film portion of the program will include three short films:

• Batsies, a 15-minute film from director Liz Unger (Tigre Gente) and co-producer Ben Masters (Deep in the Heart) that follows the endearing friendship and work of two inspiring researchers on a heartfelt mission: to save the Texas bat population from the threat of wind turbines.
• 4DWN, a 17-minute EarthX Film production following a Dallas-based, mission-driven community hub at the unique intersection of skate culture and regenerative farming.
• The Blackcountry Journal, a nine-minute film that showcases breathtaking footage and an iconic soundtrack, alongside the story of a skier contemplating his connection to the mountains through art, jazz and Black culture.

Following the screenings will be a conversation with filmmakers and subjects from the films discussing the nuance and importance of climate storytelling. The conversation will be moderated by EarthX Film’s Laura Shaunette.
