ABOUT THE BCEFF:
The vision of the British Columbia Environmental Film Festival (BCEFF) Society is to raise global awareness about the environment and promote a healthy future. Through film, we wish to spread awareness of environmental issues and stories of hope that are occurring throughout the world. We will screen documentaries from top film makers, but also full-length dramatic feature films, short films, and animations that effectively tell stories that convey an environmental message in an entertaining manner.
The event is supported by the Deputy Ministry of Culture.
