The mission of the Climate Action Film Festival is to bring together stories and filmmakers from around the globe to address the climate crisis.
The first annual Climate Action Film Festival is a celebration of short films with a focus on solutions to the climate crisis. It is the first festival of its kind to exclusively feature storytelling around solutions rather than simply the impacts of climate change. The Climate Action Film Fest is a touring, single-night event featuring a 90-120 minute presentation of short films from around the world. The festival will tour the Northeast U.S. in its inaugural year, with additional screenings to be added.
Proceeds from screenings will go to New Yorkers for Clean Power and Student Climate Coalition to support Climate Action in New York’s upcoming legislative session.
Raise your voice in the name of climate action! We look forward to seeing you there.
But wait… So a local solar company is hosting a film festival? YES, you’re right! SunCommon was founded as a market solution to climate change and while our everyday business operates to install as much clean energy as we can, at our core we’re working to address the urgency of today’s climate crisis. Since SunCommon’s founding, we have relied on the power of storytelling to inspire, inform, and relate to one another, bringing more and more people into the solar movement. The Climate Action Film Fest is our next step in our work to spark the change we want to see in the world.
