Save the Date! EFA turns 15!
This year is our 15th birthday!
We have been running as a volunteer-led organisation since we launched as Environmental Film Festival Melbourne in 2010. We missed out on celebrating our tenth birthday in 2020, so we couldn’t let this milestone pass us by!
Mark your calendars for a weekend of cinema, talks, celebrations and more as we toast all the amazing people (and films!) who made EFFM, EFFA and now EFA happen.
Details to be announced soon!

Re-vision Ethical Futures Moving Image Network presents a program of two short works that skilfully utilise archival footage, documents, and photographic materials to inspire reflection on enduring continuities - the persistence of environmentally harmful policies, colonial extraction-based attitudes, and the complex ways archival materials represent long-term ecological and social phenomena - going beyond merely substantiating historical events to actively co-constitute our understanding of the present.

[Past] Off Grid Pop Up Cinema: Yana Djamaga Ganji / Walk Good Fire
In late 2019, Australia’s South Coast burned red, hot, and black. When the ash settled, First Nations voices were the first to emerge from the deafening silence. Yana Djamaga Ganji / Walk Good Fire is an Indigenous-led film that follows the Walbunja Rangers back out onto Yuin Country, as they work with cultural fire to heal both the coast and their people.
Walking alongside Elders and youngsters across luxury resorts to crown lands, this documentary follows the resurgence of cultural burning in Australia’s Southeast, addressing the ongoing mismanagement of Country and the misconceptions around cultural burning as an isolated practice.
