The Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies’ biennial Tales From Planet Earth film festival returns November 6 through 8 at multiple venues, and this year’s schedule is up now. Never predictable or didactic in its approach to environmental themes, Tales has consistently assembled a deep selection spanning documentaries, adventurous short films, and thoughtful panel discussions. Among this year’s highlights: Documentarian Godfrey Reggio will be on hand for several events in the fest, including a screening of his 1982 documentary Koyaanisqatsi. But the lineup is a big one as usual, so we’d encourage you to dive in and take advantage of this singular gem of a Madison film festival. Also see our recent interview with one of the film curators who helped launch it, Tom Yoshikami. Info
