The Environmental Film Festival Melbourne began in 2010 with a vision to inform and inspire people in relation to environmental issues. We hope you will see the films on offer here and then choose to be part of the solution to the problems they discuss.
Prepare to be confronted, prepare to have to think, but most importantly of all, prepare to take action. These films present serious problems, but often provide simple answers. Sometimes all it takes is a change in mind-set and some political will, and if we can help generate that then our work here is done.

"I am delighted to be the Festival Patron for the Environmental Film Festival Melbourne in this their second year.
As Victoria's Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability, I am required to deliver annual reports on the environmental management systems of government agencies and a five-yearly State of the Environment report. Beyond this, it is also my role to engage the people of Victoria in a conversation about environmental and sustainability issues.
These conversations can take place in a diversity of places, whether in flood-ravaged towns across north-west Victoria, on the land of the Yorta Yorta nation, or in central Melbourne office buildings. Every one of these conversations is important, and the Environmental Film Festival Melbourne provides an exceptional forum for both hosting and informing a great number of debates.
Through our environmental reporting, my Office strives to develop compelling narratives that will truly speak to people, but we also recognise the unique power of film to engage emotions and bring forth debate on the critical issues of our times."
