2026 Eco-film Series

The Eco-film Series is back with 5 must-see, feature-length films and a special selection of short films!

Mark your calendars for the last Tuesday of the month, January – June!

Over 60 films have been selected and screened through our Eco-film Series over the years. This FREE series is offered annually in partnership with the Lowell Film CollaborativeWe thank our venue partner, the Lowell National Historical Park, for allowing us to screen the films in their Visitor Center.

Our 2026 Ecofilm line-up explores the Pulse of Resilience through a diverse lens from the delicate conservation of spotted turtles and snowy owls, to the high-stakes investigation into the illegal jaguar trade in the Amazon, the ancient healing traditions of Shaker Swamp, and a global search for the “little things” like flying insects that hold our ecosystems together. The series continues with an awe-inspiring family expedition across the Antarctic ice and concludes with an epic journey into the heart of the redwoods to uncover the secrets of these ancient giants.

Our 2026 film screening dates and film selections are as follows:

All films listed are subject to change.

Thank you to our event sponsor, Rockland Trust. If you’d like to make a donation to support the Eco-film Series, click here.

We’re often asked what films we’ve screened in the past, so here are the brochures from the last thirteen (!) seasons:
