One Earth Film Festival is the Midwest’s premier environmental film festival, based in Chicago and reaching audiences beyond the Chicago region through some virtual offerings.
The festival creates opportunities for understanding the climate crisis, environmental justice, sustainability, resilient community-building, and the power of people to take concrete, inclusive action. It showcases top-issue, thought-provoking environmental films selected by a diverse, multigenerational slate of environmental experts and community leaders, and works to center the voices of those most impacted by climate change and environmental injustice. Post-film interactive discussions – guided by topic-area experts, advocates, and impacted community members – aim to focus on equitable solutions and the sharing of concrete actions people can take.
Private, public, non-profit, and community partners are engaged in the sponsorship, support, and production of the festival, which has reached almost 50,000 participants since its founding in 2012. One Earth Film Festival is a production of One Earth Collective.
