The Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series is presented by the Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District, Middlesex Community College Environmental Science Program, The Rockfall Foundation, and Wesleyan University’s Center for the Arts and College of the Environment. Four screenings take place throughout the year, alternating locations between Chapman Hall at Middlesex Community College and the Center for Film Studies at Wesleyan University. Events are always open to the public and free of charge.
