In 2023, NTFF celebrated its 5th anniversary festival at the Fairview
Theater in Goleta for what was its biggest festival to date!
In 2024 we hope to build on that success by delivering more world-class films, events, as well as welcoming an increased number of festival attendees to the wider Santa Barbara region famous for its world-class hospitality and communities full of nature enthusiasts and film lovers. Not forgetting our roots, the festival will also host a ‘Best of the Fest’ event in Los Olivos in mid-October.
NatureTrack Film Festival (NTFF) is a three-day celebration of nature and outdoor adventure through film and has showcased hundreds of national and international filmmakers’ works to the thrill and delight of thousands of attendees.
All proceeds from NTFF will support NatureTrack and its mission to foster
a lifelong fascination with nature and inspire respectful stewardship of our
natural world.
We welcome films with any nature-related elements to submit. At NatureTrack Film Festival, we aim to inspire passion for nature through film by expanding the definition of a “nature film,” including a variety of genres and subjects including but not limited to narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, adventure, conservation, and more.
