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.

The Pacific Climate Warriors, born out of the low-lying Pacific Islands, are an Indigenous and youth lead movement who now have been on the front lines of climate change for decades --- their rally cry is “we are not drowning, we are fighting".
