DC Environmental Film Festival

The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF) is the world’s premier showcase of environmentally themed films. Since 1993, our mission has been to celebrate Earth and inspire understanding and stewardship of the environment through the power of film. Each March in Washington, D.C., we host the largest environmental film festival in the world, presenting 100+ films to audiences of more than 20,000 and collaborating with over 110 partners, including museums, embassies, universities, and theaters. The festival is one of the leading annual cultural events in Washington, D.C., winning the 2017 DC Mayor’s Award for Excellence in Creative Industries.

This annual event is an opportunity for journalists (from anywhere) to learn about interesting environmental news stories that are being covered in upcoming documentaries.

DCEFF is happy to have locally-based reporters attend our screenings, but remote journalists should also feel free to reach out with interview requests for attending guests and filmmakers.

The 32nd annual festival takes place March 21-30, 2024.

Those interested in interviewing any attending filmmakers and/or attending screenings in DC can reach out to Jacob Crawford (jacob@dceff.org).
