Co-presented with Grist as part of Climate Week NYC
This special Climate Week Playlist features short films from recent years of DCEFF that touch on different aspects of the climate crisis — from climate justice activism and rising sea levels to policy and affected wildlife.
These films will be available to stream for free any time during Climate Week (September 17-24). Viewers are free to exit the screening and return to finish watching the films over the course of the week.
About Us: The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital (DCEFF) has been the premier showcase of environmental films since 1993. Each March in Washington, DC, we bring the world’s largest green film festival to massive in-person audiences. Since 2020, we have focused on extending our reach beyond DC to the entire world via virtual screenings and our ever-growing Watch Now catalog. In 2023, we were extremely excited to return to venues across the DC Metro for in-person screenings and events — in addition to continuing to offer virtual programming for our audiences around the world.
In 2020, Chloe Maxmin, a 28-year-old climate activist, became the youngest woman elected to the state senate in Maine history. Chloe and her campaign manager, Canyon Woodward, rewrote the strategy for progressive success in rural America and won two campaigns in red districts where they were expected to lose. RURAL RUNNERS follows Chloe and Canyon on the campaign trail alongside Canyon’s burgeoning rise as a champion ultra-distance runner. Their approach rehumanizes our deeply divided political system, offering hope and a path toward a healthier democracy.`
