Environmental Film Festival In The Nation's Capital

The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF) is the world’s premier showcase of environmentally themed films. Through our annual festival, year-round events, and online resources, we seek to advance public understanding of the environment and inspire stewardship of the planet, through the power of film. Each March in Washington, DC, the Festival presents more than 150 films to an audience of over 27,000. Often combined with thematic discussions and social events, our films screen at museums, embassies, libraries, universities and local theaters. Many of the screenings are free, and all are open to the public. DCEFF also partners with filmmakers, distributors and venues to present environmental films throughout the year. Our Washington, DC location offers the unique ability for films and filmmakers to reach national decision makers. Founded in 1993, DCEFF is the largest and longest-running festival of its kinds in the United States. It has grown into a major collaborative cultural event, both during the festival and all year-round. The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
