Environmental Film Festival Australia

The Environmental Film Festival Australia (EFFA) is a yearly film festival that explores the relationship between humans and their environments, featuring work from Australian and international filmmakers.

They screen a range of works including traditional feature-length documentary, short form, fictional films, experimental works, virtual reality, full dome and IMAX titles. The aim of EFFA, which has now grown from its Melbourne base to present programmes in other cities, is to encourage discussion, action and hope for a more sustainable future.

There is a yearly call for films and many titles are from overseas, although EFFA strives to present 30% of their films from local talent and they are actively seeking to represent indigenous perspectives. EFFA is open to hosting international artists who can share their experiences with the local environmental film production industry, although their funding to support these initiatives is limited.
