Edinburgh Green Film Fest

ABOUT US

At the Edinburgh Green Film Festival, we are a small team with the aim to establish the first film festival focused on climate change and environmental themes within Edinburgh. We are committed to showcasing some of the most important and thought-provoking films that tackle the greatest issues we face for our planet. Right now we are locking down where we will run our first festival out of. Keep an eye on our website and socials to find out first about our programme as we launch!

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

As part of the Scottish creative and arts industry, we have an opportunity to inform and inspire our audiences and with our festival aiming to encourage discussion of environmental issues, we know it's important to uphold a strong green policy that translates to environmentally-conscious decision making.

We are a member of Creative Carbon Scotland’s Green Arts Initiative programme, a network of organisations that work towards increasing the environmental sustainability of the Scottish arts community. We participate through the use of their tools and resources, and by communicating our data for annual feedback reports.

At Edinburgh Green Film Festival, we recognise that we have a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. Our goal is to ultimately run at a carbon deficit. You can read our full environmental policy by clicking the button below.
