As part of the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival, the GreenWorld contest challenges filmmakers to make a meaningful statement about the future of the environment in under two minutes. A daunting enough challenge in itself, each movie also had to withstand public scrutiny online as part of the “audience voting” section of the contest to determine the finalists.

Some of the movies are a little didactic; I suppose that’s sort of the point. I liked how surreal some of them were, adding a bit of the bizarre into what could easily turn into an Al Gore PowerPoint lecture.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Keep on biodiesel truckin’ Al.
