The Cresta Alta Film Tour is engaging audiences throughout the US with arts councils, colleges, high schools and museums at events produced by The Risan Project. The 2025 tour features Risan Media's expedition-based climate change documentary film titled, Cresta Alta, that chronicles a journey to Alaska, Iceland, Chile and Peru to document glaciological research expeditions and sustainability. The screenings are followed by a Risan Studies Q&A with environmental filmmaker and socially-conscious musician, Todd Anders Johnson, who studied development issues at the University of Washington. With a foundational perspective that more sustainable policies are imperative and that there are effective renewable and sustainable options to employ regionally, nationally and globally, Todd has dedicated himself to the arts in creating entertaining and educational film, music and events.


As students across the nation face an uncertain future in educational opportunities with reduced funding resources paired with the deconstruction of environmental and climate science organizations, the Cresta Alta Film Tour is a timely forum of entertainment and education focused on the practical applications of climate change scientific research, renewable energy, and sustainability initiatives. 


The film features Danish glaciologist, Dr. Sebastian Mernild, sharing how his research in the Andes was funded by the Chilean National Science Foundation and also showcases how a USAID-funded program in Huaraz, Peru, aims to use bio-remediation to clean river water of heavy metals that is occurring due to deglaciation. These expeditions and their findings highlight the efficacy of scientific organizational programs and the need for continued research funding. These salient discussion topics are now being explored in our post-film screening Q&As with students who are trying to find gravity in this changing educational environment.
