Presented by the Schoharie River Center:
The third annual Mayfly Film Festival seeks to create an inspiring program of diverse films that are focused on the environment, and our relationship to it. We welcome documentaries, short films, narratives, animations, experimental films, etc. As long as there is a focus on the environment, we want to see it.
Submitting is free with code: "SCHOHARIE3"
We had to put a $5 fee to ward off unqualified films. Of course, if you choose to pay the fee, we appreciate the support!

The Mayfly is an insect that is very susceptible to pollutants. When researching water quality, the presence of Mayflies can indicate that the water is clean or getting better. They have existed since before the dinosaurs, and we hope that our actions will lead to seeing them around well into the future.
We believe that this sensitive and ancient species is a perfect mascot for our delicate environment and all the issues surrounding it’s survival.
