For 19 years, the Visions of Nature/Voices of Nature Environmental Film Festival has brought compelling and important films to the Tampa Bay area and the Eckerd College community to raise awareness and promote discussion of matters relating to nature, place and the environment.


Film scholars and filmmakers from around the world engage the audience in a lively dialogue about the environmental perspectives contained in documentary, animated, experimental and feature films. All films are free and open to the public.

Along the slopes of an active volcano in Guatemala, a marriage is arranged for 17-year-old Maria by her Kaqchikel parents. This mesmerizing debut film by Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante blends fact and fable to create a dreamlike depiction of the daily lives of contemporary Mayan descendants who work on a coffee plantation.
