CELEBRATING ENVIRONMENTAL FILMMAKING
HAPPENING JUNE 11-13
The Walter Anderson Museum of Art announces its inaugural Fisheye Film Festival! This festival is a celebration of environmentalism and activism presented through the lens of Mississippi filmmakers.

Mississippi State University Intermediate Graphic Design students created a series of 11x17-inch posters for the Fisheye Film Festival. Their posters were given the same guiding inspiration borrowed from the 5 core topics of the National Geographic Slingshot Challenge: Clean the Air, Restore the Ocean, Protect Nature, Reduce Waste, and Address Climate Change. These posters will be available to view for free inside the Ocean Springs Community Center during the run of Fisheye Film Festival, June 11-13.
