Yann Arthus-Bertrand, born in France, is a well-known photographer, journalist and environmentalist who has been involved in wildlife protection for many years. After having worked as a photojournalist with several prestigious magazines, he decided to look at the world from a different angle – from above. In 1991, he founded the Altitude Agency which was the world’s first press agency specializing in aerial photography. By 1994, he began a thorough study on the state of the Earth, using aerial photos he’d taken from helicopters and hot-air balloons. This project resulted in the book, Earth from Above, the photos from which have been exhibited around the world.

Two of his films, Planet Ocean and A Thirsty World are showing at this year’s DREFF.

He will surely have stories to tell, questions to answer and lots of advice to impart in this Master Class.

DREFF Year Round Programs

The Eco-Huertos Program seeks to support the creation of organic and sustainable vegetable gardens in schools and communities throughout the Dominican Republic. Through ongoing field activities, the program bolsters the natural sciences curriculum in the schools.

The contest is divided into two categories: short films and public service announcements. With this contest, GFDD and FUNGLODE seek to promote environmental filmmaking as a platform to educate and raise awareness.

The ReCrearte Program aims to raise awareness of the 3Rs of solid waste management: reduce, reuse, recycle. The workshops also emphasize and demonstrate how recycling waste into art can empower individuals and communities alike.

As part of its mission to reach more communities, institutions and individuals around the country, the DR Environmental Film Festival organizes film screenings year-round, providing the opportunity to bring successful film programs to new and remote communities.

Complementing the DREFF's mission, the GFDD has risen to the challenge and, since 2012, has started producing its own short documentary films that highlight and raise awareness about important local environmental issues.
