For as long as I could remember, I’ve always been interested in environmental communication. I’ve written a consideration amount on this topic long before this issue. As you know, films really interest me, especially environmental cinema. Ecocinema is a pretty new term used to put environmental films in an acceptable category. Ecocinema is a film art form that manifests in both fiction and nonfiction with the purpose of educating and disseminating environmentally conscious messages through film, one of the most easily accessible media forms today.

I want to bring you closer to a new way to look at films, something you probably don’t consider on a regular basis when you watch an ecofilm. Some of the ideas I pose may or may not sink in well with you, but if you give it a chance, you’ll see that it’s quite a unique way to look at it.

I wanted to thank Chandra, Efrain and Royal for their wonderful contributions. I also want to thank Frank Eyeson for his continued support and for the work he’s put into this issue. It’s been a pleasure to write about The 11th Hour, Age of Stupid, and especially The Cove. These are but a few environmental films that we’re seeing today and I suspect that there will be more like them in the future. For now, we can take pleasure knowing that such conscious minds exist to help us get through our impending ecological disaster.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, it’s a great honor and pleasure! We hope you join us for our next edition!
