The third annual Climate Action Film Festival (CAFF) by SunCommon is once again accepting independent film submissions for a short film showcase to be debuted in 2022. CAFF (est. 2019) is the first festival of its kind to exclusively feature storytelling around solutions and direct action rather than simply the science and impacts of the climate crisis.
“After a successful digital event series in 2021, we’re ready to bring an enhanced CAFF 3.0 to the big screen in 2022! There is clearly a huge desire to engage with climate action through filmmaking and we’re expanding our mission to inspire action through the power of film. We’re equally committed to promoting independent filmmaking and grassroots insights as we are committed to climate solutions.” says Patrick McCormack, Storyteller at SunCommon and CAFF Creative Director.
In 2021, CAFF featured conversations with Jane Fonda, Bill McKibben, Jennifer Wickham of the Gidimt’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation, and award winning filmmakers like Anjali Nayar, Tom Mustill, and more.
The 2022 Film Selection and guest speakers will be announced in early 2022 with the event taking place in March of 2022.
Filmmakers are encouraged to submit their short film at no cost before the Nov. 30th deadline.
