Environmental Film Festival
ALT EFF Africa - presented by AfricaLive
Bringing the world's largest decentralised celebration of environmental cinema to festivals and events across sub-Saharan Africa.
Environmental Cinema Across Africa
The old stories of dominion over nature are fading. At this crossroads of regeneration or collapse, what will be our legacy?
ALT EFF Africa brings powerful environmental cinema from across Africa and the globe to communities across sub-Saharan Africa. With a strong focus on African conservation stories, we showcase films that document African-led solutions, center local voices, and prove what's possible when communities take charge of their environment.
Join us in driving large-scale climate action through the power of cinema.
