SUBMISSIONS will open on April 5 for the 2021 Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival.
Through our annual film festival, year-round programming, and online resources, we seek to advance understanding of the environment through the power of film. The festival showcases new films from around the world and welcomes compelling stories of all styles that explore the planet. We accept both shorts and features for consideration.
Held over 5 days on a Virtual platform in 2020, the 4th annual PhilaEnviroFilmFest, along with our partners at the Academy of Natural Sciences, presented 50 powerful films along with a juried awards competition, engaging discussions with filmmakers and topical experts - many from the Academy - a youth short film competition and a Kid's Planet program. We plan for a Virtual festival as well in 2021.
The PhilaEnviroFilmFest is a member of the international Green Film Network, an association of the world's 40 top environmental film festivals, increasing outreach opportunities and connections with a global audience. We are also members of Film Festival Alliance and official partners with many regional cultural organizations.
