🌍 Global Trend Climate Change Film Festival (GTCF)
Dhaka, Bangladesh | June 2027

Grand Opening: 5 June 2027 – World Environment Day
Organized by: GTD Media Production

The Global Trend Climate Change Film Festival (GTCF) is Bangladesh's first international film festival dedicated exclusively to climate change and environmental storytelling.

Following a successful inaugural edition in 2026, GTCF returns in 2027 to bring together filmmakers, environmental advocates, researchers, policymakers, students, and audiences from around the world through the powerful medium of cinema.

We invite filmmakers worldwide to submit compelling films that explore climate change, environmental sustainability, biodiversity, conservation, climate justice, renewable energy, community resilience, and humanity's relationship with nature.

GTCF welcomes documentary, narrative, animation, and experimental films that inform, engage, inspire, and encourage action toward a more sustainable future. We are looking for creative and impactful stories that offer fresh perspectives on one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

Selected films will be screened in Dhaka, Bangladesh, before an engaged audience of filmmakers, students, academics, climate experts, development professionals, environmental activists, and international guests. The festival aims to foster dialogue, creativity, awareness, and collaboration through the art of filmmaking.

If your film speaks urgently and creatively about our changing planet, we invite you to submit and become part of GTCF 2027.
