On World Environment Day, following my discussion with our esteemed judge Sten Saluveer at the 77th Cannes Film Festival last week, I am delighted to announce the finalists in Rainforest Partnership's international film competition, "Films for the Forest (F3)". The final winners of this esteemed competition will be announced on June 22, World Rainforest Day. Sharing the stories of our planet is a labour of love, perseverance and commitment - this year's competition features unique categories that received an impressive 84 submissions from 30 different countries. Please join me in congratulating everyone who entered this year, and continue the work to amplify the voices of nature. I would like to thank our judges that include five-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Richard Linklater and Estonian Academy Award-nominated audiovisual producer Sten Saluveer, and the F3 team led by Andrea Builes-Vélez for their commitment to the cause and celebrating the artists. https://lnkd.in/eK2RGj2n #FilmsForTheForest #Rainforest #Partnership #Cannes2024 #WorldEnvironmentDay #ESG #Climate #Sustainability Niyanta Spelman Andrea Builes-Vélez Rainforest Partnership Frank Richards Beth Caplan Jason Butcher Hazel Barbour Lucía Gallardo Jayme Mechur
