The Reel Water Film Festival will be on Saturday, June 15th at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club. Potomac: The River Runs Through Us will be shown during the “Afternoon Splash,” which begins at 2:00pm.
The Reel Water Film Festival is a non-profit event which takes a two-fold approach to combating water issues both at home and abroad. First, we host a film festival to showcase films submitted from all around the world, invite organizations to set up exhibits for the festival-goers to learn more about how they can get involved, and hear from film directors and experts about various issues surrounding water. Second, we donate at least 50% of our proceeds to water projects in developing countries and right here at home. The rest of the money stays within the festival to continue on for years to come.
All of the information about the day is on our website, including info about our feature film “Chasing Ice” and our “Dinner & A Movie” component. Please click here to check out the festival schedule. Click here for festival ticket information.

Endangered Rivers
Shown as part of the Rivers Program
Introduced by Bob Irvin, President of American Rivers.
World Premiere Each of us is connected to rivers in our everyday lives. Most of the six million people living in the Potomac River watershed do not realize that their drinking water comes from the Potomac. Since the Clean Water Act passed in 1972, the health of the river has improved. However, it is still in trouble and faces a number of serious threats: urban development, population growth and runoff from farms, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. The film follows the flow of the Potomac water from its origin, into our homes and businesses and back into the river. We become aware of the need to protect this essential resource and of how our wellbeing and that of future generations is intertwined with the health of the Potomac. Co Directed, Produced and Written by Peggy Fleming and Sean Fumage.
Panel discussion, moderated by Stephanie Flack, Potomac River Project Director, Nature Conservancy, with Bob Irvin, President, American Rivers; Hedrick Belin, President, The Potomac Conservancy, Potomac: The River Runs Through Us filmmakers Peggy Fleming and Sean Furmage, and Chattahoochee: From Water War to Water Vision filmmaker Rhett Turner.
Shown with CHATTAHOOCHEE: FROM WATER WAR TO WATER VISION.
FREE: No reservations required.
