Colorado Environmental Film Festival
The 2021 Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) takes place as a virtual event Feb. 12-21.
This year's festival includes 86 short-and-feature-length films by local and international filmmakers. CEFF's accompanying Eco-Expo will also be available online.
In addition to viewing the films, the virtual CEFF also offers a variety of events where filmmakers, Eco-Expo organizations and audience members can interact with each other, such as Live Watch parties with Q&As, CEFF 4 Kids, Happy Hour Receptions and Green Bag Lunch & Learn sessions and more.
All of the films explore the interconnected ecological, social and economic themes of our planet. They are meant to be a "celebration of the inspirational, educational and motivational power of film to engage people to protect their environment," states a news release.
Powered by Eventive, all the films will be available to watch online on-demand for the duration of the 10-day festival.
Tickets to screen individual films are not available for purchase. Rather, those who want to watch a specific film can purchase that film through a collection. A collection is a curated set of approximately three-to-six films. Most collections are available for purchase for $10.
A five collections pack costs $35, and an all-access festival pass costs $70.
Many of the CEFF special events and programs are free.
