For over 30 years, the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF) has been inspiring our community through the power of film to incite change and take action so that we can preserve our planet for future generations.
The White House Effect to Open DCEFF 2025
On Thursday, March 20, the Environmental Film Festival will open with the DC Premiere of The White House Effect, a new documentary that uses archival footage to tell the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis and how a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history.
“Essential viewing for anyone interested in humanity’s future.” – Variety
Out of Plain Sight Lands Closing Night
In addition to closing out this year’s Festival, Out of Plain Sight is the 2025 Shared Earth Foundation Award for Advocacy winner.
In the new film directed by Daniel Straub and Rosanna Xia, a haunting tip prompts a Los Angeles Times reporter to discover that as many as half a million barrels of toxic waste had been dumped into the ocean, just off the coast of Southern California.
Tickets for this and the rest of our 2025 lineup will go on sale Tuesday, February 25!
