Host a Screening
Since its premiere in 2011, Green Fire has been shown at thousands of community screenings around the country and the world. Read on to learn how to host your own screening. You can also search our events calendar to find a screening near you.
How long is the film?
There are two versions: a 73-minute director’s cut and a 56-minute public television cut.
How do I get permission to show the film in my classroom or community?
The Aldo Leopold Foundation is pleased to announce that both versions of Green Fire are now available for free, online streaming. This must-see film is available to watch here, along with a suite of additional educational resources, including the “Green Fire Film Discussion Guide.” This film can be shared in the classroom, at public events, via Zoom (through screen-sharing), or with any public audience, with no public screening license required if you do not charge for the event. If you want to host a theater quality in-person screening or virtual event, or you plan to charge for your event, please contact Bullfrog Films.
How can I publicize my screening?
We have templates of publicity materials available that you can modify to promote your event. Contact us if you’re interested in receiving these.
Also, let us help you spread the word by listing your screening in our events calendar.
How should I prepare for the screening?
See our technical tips (PDF) for advice on planning and hosting your screening. If you’d like to hold a discussion afterward, request our discussion guide, which offers ideas for creating dialog and questions organized by topic.

What’s expected of me if I host a screening?
Please submit a report to Lauren Graves on the success of your event as a way to document the film’s impact and the growing reach of Leopold’s vision.
