The purpose of The San Diego Environmental Film Festival (SDEFF) is to inspire awe, engagement, and social change between people and our natural environment. Its mission is to curate an artistic, educational experience that uses film to bring people together, facilitate knowledge exchange, and effect social change. It creates a unique, inclusive, and representative film festival focused on people, air, water, and land, which all contribute to the long-term biodiversity of our planet.
SDEFF offers a platform for filmmakers from around the globe to present creative ideas, talent, and skills in service to the planet. Films that amplify unheard stories, highlight emerging talent, enhance access to unique content, provide new opportunities for learning, and build the environmental community within and outside San Diego.
The next festival will be held the weekend of November 21-23, 2024 and funds will be used for the planning of the film festival such as screen and projector rentals, venue coordination and fees, film award prizes, marketing materials, and more!
The San Diego Environmental Film Festival is a registered 501c3 nonprofit.
The board is made up of scientists and policymakers with a big vision to inspire fun, creativity, and action in the environmental, conservation, and artistic space. They have each had a share of working in the field: collecting water quality samples, monitoring coral reefs in the ocean water, developing policy to establish marine protected areas off our coast.
