IMAGINE NEW FUTURES
CFF is more than a festival. We’re building a community of creators and audiences to take action on climate change, telling new stories, pushing boundaries, and working together to create a more just, sustainable future.
FILMMAKERS
Are you telling new climate stories? Follow CFF to learn more about opportunities in climate filmmaking, including news about our 2025 year-round programs and open call for film submissions.
During the festival, join us for workshops with fellow filmmakers, scientists, artists, thinkers, and innovative New Yorkers. Together, we can build a stronger climate creative movement.
AUDIENCES
At CFF, our audience members are active participants. Films at CFF open up conversations about contemporary realities and possible futures, platforming novel ways to talk and think about climate. What the filmmakers make visible, the audience makes real.
Join the CFF community to create, debate, and experience new visions of our collective future. With ongoing events, CFF takes a campfire approach: by bringing community members together around the power of storytelling, we can form a stronger collective of people invested in imagining and building a better way forward.
ACTIONS
The impacts of climate cinema extend beyond the screen. CFF aims to do more than raise awareness, providing practical, meaningful ways you can make a difference. Climate change is daunting, but we believe that together we can rise to the challenge and achieve collective shift. When you attend a CFF event, you’ll come away not just with clear next steps, but also with a community of people taking action right beside you.
