Our partners for this free, two-day festival are Friends of the Desert Mountains, the Living Desert, Desert Horticultural Society of Coachella Valley, and the Palm Springs Cultural Center. |

On-Demand
This part of the two-day festival is on demand, so you can watch at your convenience anytime between July 9 to 13 .
Simply follow the link (which will be available on July 9) to watch a curated collection of short films and one feature film, "The Human Element," on demand.
About "The Human Element": As human activities alter the basic elements of life – earth, air, water, and fire – those elements change human life in turn. Watch the trailer . |
