Enviro Film Festival - Ireland (1)

Festival start: 25 September 2015      Festival end: 27 September 2015

Enviro is Ireland’s first film festival focused purely on environmental issues and we look forwards to screening your film.

The festival will create a melting pot for activists, the eco-concious individual and business to meet filmmakers, environmental experts and campaigners to watch, discuss, and add to the movement for a better world. Most importantly we aim to encourage activism either individually or by joining with others so be prepared to meet and hear the views of environmental, conservation, animal protection and all manner of groups over the weekend.

We aim to be provocative, challenging, educational and, to encourage individuals to become activists either in their own daily lives or through joining campaigning groups.

The festival itself, with international and Irish premiers will take place on the weekend of 25-27th September 2015, at venues around Dublin City Center.

Prizes will be at the sole discretion of Enviro Film Festival judges, they are not transferable and monetary equivalents will not be provided.
