World premiere of a new documentary film by Nina Faust for the 2017 Yampa Valley Crane Festival!

One of the festival's favorite filmmakers returns with her brand-new short film featuring Sandhill Cranes. In this beautiful documentary, Nina Faust points her camera not only at the magnificent birds, but also  the people in Homer, Alaska who live with cranes in their own backyards. Bridging the connection of wildlife and art, Faust profiles the artists whose creations are inspired by Sandhill Cranes.

Run time: 35 min.

About the Yampa Valley Crane Festival
The Greater Sandhill Crane is an iconic species of the Yampa Valley. Returning in the spring, cranes nest and raise their young in wetland areas throughout the valley. In late summer and early fall, hundreds of cranes from the Rocky Mountain flock join the local birds to rest and feed before continuing their journey south. The festival includes daily crane viewings, expert speakers, films, art exhibits, workshops, family activities and more. All community activities and events are free unless otherwise indicated in the program, and the Bud Werner Memorial Library will be home base for many of these talks, films and events.
