The Environmental Film Festival Australia began in 2010 with a vision to inform, engage and inspire on the environmental issues that affect us today and has since grown into one of Melbourne's most notable 'green' events. Showcasing a dynamic range of the best environmental films from Australia and around the world and drawing large crowds from all over Victoria, EFFA has stitched its way into the colourful tapestry of Melbourne's arts and cultural life.

A not-for-profit event, EFFA is run by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers. Our team brings together a wide variety of experience to curate a bigger and better festival each year, in a creative and exciting environment.

EFFA remains dedicated to advancing the knowledge and understanding of environmental issues. Using the power of film, music and debate we unite filmmakers, environmentalists, politicians, scientists, experts, and the broader public in their desire to actively engage in issues that affect all of our futures.

We know that money doesn't grow on trees, but a donation to EFFA can make all of these things happen! EFFA runs solely on the support of generous donors, festival guests and festival partners. All donations will help EFFA to advance public understanding of environmental issues and challenge the way the public thinks about, and interacts with, the natural world.
