Arboraceous, a short film made by 16-year-old Natasha Bishop, is among four New Zealand films screening at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington.

The four minute animation will screen at the National Museum of Natural History on Sunday (AEDT), accompanying New Zealand feature documentary Antarctica: A Year On Ice.
