The Frome International Climate Film Festival is the FIRST and ONLY dedicated FREE international film festival for films relating to all aspects of the CLIMATE and what it means to you and me, as we believe there should be NO BARRIERS to green change.
Through film we raise awareness of the climate crisis and the need to urgently change, we also most importantly support personal change and provide pathways to change through sharing knowledge through film to educate and to reduce personal ecoanxiety.
Remember change starts with you, 'through little things we can do big things together'
