California Coastal Views Film Festival

Greetings!

The First Annual California Coastal Views Film Festival has begun. Film entries providing non-commercial California coastal views are being acquired from those submitted to Youtube.com. The film competition will be judged as follows:

Films are being collected from those tagged with key words indicating they contain scenes of the California coast. Until May 1st, they will screened and separated into logical categories (coastrides, places and wildlife, trips, waves and surfers, etc.). From May 6th until May 2, a group of judges will be asked to narrow the selections to the top ten in each of the categories. The final judging will be done by the members of the 2003 California Coastal Expedition, those who walked the entire coast of California during that spring and summer. Links to the winning films will be sent to this year's coastwalkers prior to their scheduled walks on California's coastal counties. Coastwalk's reputation for hosting walks in California counties over the past 24 years makes it especially qualified to partner with us to help coastal activists enjoy these films.

    Videos of Coastwalks

    Greetings!

    I've placed three videos on Google's Video site (and on YouTube.com)which contain photos of two coastwalks, and a short ceremony of a signing of the California Coastal Trail:

  • Mendocino Coastwalk


  • Del Norte Coastwalk


  • Coastwalk Trail Signing



  • Coastwalkers will be invited to submit their pictures of this year's walks, and videos will be produced of those walks.
