A Wild Idea


A Wild Idea is a documentary about Ecuador’s proposal to fight climate change.  The government is willing to leave untouched their biggest oil reserves that lie in a portion of the Amazon, if the world reimburses the country with millions of dollars.

“If accepted, this proposal would contribute to preserving biodiversity, avoiding carbon dioxide emissions, and respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and their way of life.”

This film is playing at the film festival at the end of the month and will be screening on Saturday at 12:30-1:00.  There will also be a Q and A section which will follow the film.  Please come to see how this wild idea morphed into a proposal recognized worldwide.

  1. Just bought my festival pass and am looking forward to these interesting films. I was wondering if the filmmakers will be present for the screenings and if there will be opportunities to talk to them. Nivedita at cinemacorridor.blogspot.com

    1. Hi, Veronica Moscoso who is the filmmaker of A Wild Idea and a winner this year will be present during the screening on Saturday at 12:30 - 1:00. There will also be a Q and A after the film. You can ask her any questions you like.

      The following films will have Q and A after the screening:

      THE PINK ROOM
      SMUGGLED
      9 ELEVEN

      EL REY -- WORLD PREMIERE

      Just check our online sales invoices to find out if you bought a festival pass for $40 plus S and H of $5. You can get your ticket at the door and you'll get a refund of $5.

  3. I purchased a three-day pass for the film festival at $45. Something has suddenly come up and it looks like I may not be able to attend. Is it possible for me to get a refund?

  4. I spoke to Gracy and mentioned that I will be able to attend only the first day. She said I will get a refund for the other two days when I come tomorrow. Sorry for posting all this here in your blog, guess it is not the right place really. Thank you.
