The 2010 Wildscreen wildlife and environmental film festival kicked off in Bristol, England last Sunday (10 October). The event, sponsored by BBC Earth and Animal Planet, lasts for 5 days, and will culminate in the judging of the 440 plus finalists of the Panda Award film competition. In addition, the festival features discussion panels and workshops, and is seen and marketed as a place to meet and network with other wildlife filmmakers.
