Environmental Film Festival is back, running 16-23 October and celebrating our 15th year by returning to the cinema where we first started, Palace Kino!Enjoy Australia's premier environmental cinema showcase, with features, shorts, documentaries, cine-art, talks, community activities and more. Join us in exploring how 'Environment Is
Everywhere', through stories of urban living, nature and beyond, with the best eco-cinema from around the world.
Experience 25 films, including 16 premieres, five talks & panels, two community gatherings and one very special festival party.
Traversing Naarm/Melbourne, with screenings at Palace Kino, Trocadero Projects and Wildflower Video Bar, the program spans Indigenous stories of power and activism, local reflections on landscape, breathtaking tales of the city and living environments, and inspiring intergenerational ideas that might just save the planet.
Go beyond the screen and keep the conversation going at our filmmaker panels, community morning tea, beach clean up, fundraiser event for the APHEDA Gaza Emergency Appeal, and our 15th anniversary celebration.
In this time of climate crises, reconsider the world around you through a series of incredible films and events, and experience how Environment Is Everywhere.
Environmental Film Festival 2025 is presented by Environmental Films Australia, in association with Monash University and supported by Dr Bronner's and Hot House Magazine
