The Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) is the premier environmental film festival between the two coasts, annually showcasing the world's best environmental films!
CEFF is a celebration of the power of film to inspire, educate, and motivate audiences to protect and preserve their environment. CEFF presents thought-provoking films and dialogue that raise awareness of a wide variety of interconnected ecological, social, and economic themes. Providing an experience for the audience that goes beyond simply viewing a film, CEFF inspires audiences to act!
*COVID-19 & 2023 FESTIVAL*
CEFF is more committed than ever to sharing powerful films that inspire, educate, and motivate people to protect and preserve the environment. We are in the early stages of planning our 2023 festival and hope to host both in-person events and online virtual screenings.. If circumstances prevent in-person screenings, we will pivot to an all-virtual festival. We will post potential pertinent updates regarding our festival both here and on our website (www.ceff.net/submit) as information becomes available and in the case of policy updates or changes.
