Green Screen: Our Planet On Film

Explore the beauty, complexity, and challenges of our natural world through the lens of film and conversation.

In celebration of Earth Month, NHM presents Green Screen: Our Planet on Film, a free evening film series in our brand new Commons Theater. Through powerful storytelling, this special program will highlight diverse ecosystems, environmental histories, urgent challenges facing our planet today, and more.

From the ecological wonders of the Eastern Himalayas to the lasting impact of Los Angeles’ water history, Green Screen offers an opportunity to engage with vital environmental issues on screen–and in conversation.

What to expect: 

  • Exclusive screenings of impactful environmental films.
  • Engaging post-film Q&As with experts, filmmakers, and community voices.
  • A special reception after the films with light bites, drinks, and a chance to connect with NHM scientists and local environmental organizations.
  • A first look at NHM Commons, our brand-new gathering space designed for community and conversation.
