An Environmental Awakening Is Upon Us.
All Living Things Environmental Film Festival
The 2026 Film Programme is finalised, and we’re busy bringing the festival to life.
Film submissions reopen Dec 2026 for the 2027 festival.
Welcome to the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, the world’s largest decentralised environmental film festival. Our seventh edition takes place from 3 to 13 December 2026, with screenings across India, international screenings and a growing network of Watch Parties.
We are living through a moment of enormous change. The climate crisis is already shaping the world around us, and there is no waiting for a better moment to begin. ALT EFF brings people together through cinema to meet this moment with curiosity, courage and each other.
