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. SDEFF is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization.
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!
It's unique film SDEFF offering 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 festival focuses on sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity of our planet; bringing together diverse audiences and filmmakers to curate an artistic, educational experience that inspires action and positive impact not only locally, but globally. Films from 2022 highlighted conservation stories about our oceans, whales, butterflies, land management, endangered species, and more! This 2023 festival (its second year) will be even more international with films submitted from 19 countries.
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.
