Support Our Work
For over 34 years, the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF) has been harnessing the power of film and community to illuminate, celebrate, and inspire positive and lasting action for our planet.
2027 Festival Theme: Eyes Open
We are very excited to announce the theme for our next Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital — Eyes Open: 35 Years of Witness & Wonder. To go into one of our programs with eyes open means confronting important challenges, encountering new worlds, and envisioning a better future. We hope you’ll join us April 8-17, 2027.

Virtual Climate Week Showcase: Sept. 21-27
As part of Climate Week next month, we’re offering a selection of free films from our 2026 Festival focused on science and scientists!
What does it mean to study a world in crisis? This collection of films captures what can happen when observation becomes action, and when the pursuit of change carries real consequences for both people and the planet.
