I'd note here that the makers and stars of the 2009 AIFF Audience Award winning Paddle To Seattle (the tongue-in-cheek documentary of their kayak trip from Skagway to Seattle) will be back with their adventure traveling the Ganges River in India, though the title - Go Ganges - doesn't have the cache of Paddle to Seattle.
So here's a long table. Scan through the topics in the left hand column. Remember I haven't seen the films, I'm just pulling out topics based on the descriptions. Then mark the ones you'd like to see and check the Anchorage International Film Festival website to see when they will show. They range in length from 5 minutes (Solar Roadways) to 113 minutes (YERT - Your Environmental Road Trip). The shorter ones will be grouped together and the longer ones will show by themselves. The schedules aren't up yet.
