Created by Storytellers, for Storytellers.
The first annual Climate Action Film Festival is a celebration of short films with a focus on solutions to the climate crisis. It is the first festival of its kind to exclusively feature storytelling around solutions rather than simply the impacts of climate change. CAFF 2020 will be a touring, single-night event featuring approximately 90 minutes of short films. The festival will tour the Northeast U.S. in its inaugural year, with additional screenings to be added.
Solutions to the climate crisis are being implemented every day around the world, from rebuilding coastal estuaries to bringing solar power to remote communities. From farmers in the Hudson Valley to takeovers in Times Square, everyone can be a part of the solution. Take action for the planet and join us a screening on March 7th and 8th!
Tickets are $10. Proceeds from these screenings will be donated to New Yorkers for Clean Power & the Student Climate Coalition.
Tickets may be purchased at the Story Screen Box Office or online here.
