Film Festival Recognition

Open Source Stories is an original series from Red Hat about people who create out in the open for all to share and build upon. In our latest film, “Farming for the Future,” we explore how open tools can address future challenges our agriculture system faces―and how education puts those tools in the hands of the people who will meet those challenges. “Farming for the Future” was recently named an official selection in three upcoming film festivals:

• Planet in Focus International Environmental Film Festival taking place October 15th - 20th in Toronto, Canada. 

• St. Louis International Film Festival (Cinema for Students Program) taking place Nov 7th - 17th in St. Louis, Missouri.

• Utopia Film Festival taking place Nov 16th - 18th, in Greenbelt, Maryland.
