For more than a decade, the Lookout Wild Film Festival here in Chattanooga has celebrated on screen “the beauty of wild places and the people they inspire.”

This week, for the first time, the Festival will be held here on our campus - the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - this Thursday through Sunday at UTC’s Fine Arts Center.

Steve Rogers is the festival’s director.
