Planned for early March of 2020, The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF) was the first major event in Washington, D.C., to be canceled last year. Before the world had begun to adjust to masks, social distancing and ever-present Zoom calls, the longest-running environmental festival in America was faced with the tough decision to cancel their entire event, just one week before it was set to begin. After exactly one year of life in lockdown, with vaccines finally making the rounds, DCEFF is excited to return March 18-28 with an all-virtual festival — including over 100 films, dozens of free programs, and a welcome message from award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda.
This year’s Festival includes virtual screenings of many award-winning films, shorts, features and documentaries. Viewers who have been stuck at home throughout the course of the pandemic will have the opportunity to escape to landscapes and cities around the world, hear the stories of indigenous people, and stake out on daunting adventures.
Most of the films are available for viewing throughout the entire run of the Festival. Due to viewing restrictions, tickets to some of the more popular screenings will have a cap and likely sell out fast. Individual films vary in cost, from free to $10.
