St. Augustine Film Festival: Rising Seas - Building Resilience
Time: 7:00 pm til 9:00 pm
Location: Lewis Auditorium, Flagler College
Description: Our beloved City and Beaches suffered the double whammy of Hurricanes Matthew and Irma in successive years. Like other coastal communities, we are vulnerable to the increasing frequency and severity of flooding as seas rise and warm. Within three decades, these could destroy our economy and quality of life.
The St. Augustine Film Society and "The Golden Way" will open the St. Augustine Film Festival with an environmental program examining what sea level rise means for our community and how we might build resilience to flooding. Free screening of two films: "Oldest City Under Water" by Mallory Hopkins, a Flagler College graduate, and "Sinking Cities - Miami" a co-production of PBS and Cineflex. After the films, a panel of experts, including Mayor Nancy Shaver, will discuss building St. Augustine's resilience to future flooding.
