Established in 2004, the Seoul International Eco Film Festival (SIEFF) is an annual event held in time with World Environment Day – June 5. Through cinema, one of the most popular forms of culture, we seek to approach and acknowledge environmental issues that everyone considers important but still feel difficult, and to put into practice in our daily lives. The SIEFF has been an active member of the Green Film Network (GFN), an international association of environmental film festivals.
Making strides toward a sustainable world through cinema, the SIEFF seeks to hold discourse on the coexistence of humanity and nature and foster the younger generation, who would play major roles in the future, to become green leaders.
As Asia’s biggest and one of the world’s three most prestigious environmental film festivals, the 20th SIEFF will be held from Thu, Jun 1 to Wed, Jun 7, 2023.
