Environment - energy - film: Artistic expression s means to reveal nature's intrinsic value: Glen Canyon Environmental Film Festival and Community Film Studio in Page, Arizona

The city of Page began in 1957 as a housing camp for workers building the Glen Canyon Dam. At first the community consisted of temporary homes and trailers, but as it grew, permanent homes and other buildings were constructed. The city was planned based off of stereotypical 1950's urban planning methods and is still organized off of the original strong axis that runs directly through Page and points to the dam. This mentality of control is consistent with the very reason the city existed which is to make one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, the Lake Powell Reservoir.
