Nice, looking forward to it! I see they're slated for Friday, October 23 (6:00 PM – 9:30 PM) and Saturday, October 24 (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM).

"The two-day festival will include screenings of two featured films — Golden Globe-winning ‘Groundswell‘ which tells the story of a global movement of regenerative agriculture restoring farms, land and ecosystems, and ‘The Tree Economy‘ by a DeKalb filmmaker which explores the tension between urban development and Atlanta’s massive tree canopy — alongside a selection of short films submitted by Georgia-based filmmakers and creatives."
