Welcome to the inaugural Charlotte Earth Day Virtual Film Festival!

The goal of Charlotte Earth Day is to make the Queen City the Green City!

The Charlotte Earth Day Film Festival's (CEDFF) mission is to broaden our awareness and deepen our understanding of what is at stake regarding the dangers that confront today’s ecosystem. The films address how our actions as the human species are interconnected to and now responsible for sustaining our life giving ecosystems on this planet. In all its many brilliant and unique forms, LIFE MATTERS!

Our hope is that, until we can all get together again in person, this virtual film festival will give people a chance to get answers to the questions they may have about the climate challenge and at the same time entertain them while we wait to celebrate Charlotte Earth Day in April 2022.

The festival is co-sponsored by Clean Air Carolina, a statewide nonprofit advocating for the health of all North Carolinians by pursuing equitable and collaborative solutions that address climate change and air pollution.

The 2021 virtual film festival is dedicated in honor of Anne Springs Close for her lifetime as a champion and steward for the environment. You can read more about about Anne and her amazing life and work below:
