New York City
The Climate Film Festival is a new cultural organization with an annual festival, year-round programming, and educational resources in New York City. It was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate climate professionals, artists, and curators. CFF soft-launched in 2023 with a sold-out “First Look” screening and panel event during Climate Week NYC, and it has continued to organize screenings and events with partners throughout the city.
VISION
Mass media is essential in creating the new habits, policies, and futures that we need to flourish in a changing climate. Imaginative, innovative, and diverse films have the power to reframe engagement with our environment, constructing a shared vision of collective action. The Climate Film Festival (CFF) believes that this visionary, just, and sustainable future is within our grasp. The time to strive for it is now.
MISSION
CFF aims to rewrite the narrative on climate change by harnessing the power of motion pictures, showcasing new and established voices, classic climate films, and human, energizing stories. Our mission is to bring together a diverse community of filmmakers, artists, students, experts, and general audiences through screenings, education, and workshops that platform traditional and experimental storytelling, empowering action towards a more sustainable future.
