The San Francisco Green Film Festival aims to provide as varied a program as possible, giving voice to filmmakers with a kaleidoscope of perspectives, styles, and stories.

Look at the the world with the eyes of a child, and you're sure to learn something new.

Even when things seem unbearably bleak, or the subject matter has been flogged to death, youthful naivety can sometimes break through a roadblock or reinvigorate the soul.

That's why we love, love, love to see what our youngest filmmakers have to say.

We know there are budding environmental filmmakers all around us. Are you a young director in the making? We want to see what you can do.

Since 2012, SFGFF is a proud sponsor of Breathe California’s annual Clear the Air Film Fest! 

Teens - in a few hours you can learn how to write, shoot and edit a film!  

Join San Francisco Green Film Festival and Robyn Bykofsky, local youth media expert and award-winning filmmaker, in a fun interactive afternoon of making your wildest ideas come to life.

The 2016 Green Film Fest is shaping up to be the most exciting yet, with the farthest reach across different audiences and contributors. While our Green Community spans many diverse groups, our filmmaker spotlight today falls on our youth filmmakers represented at the 2016 Festival.

Hundreds of aspiring filmmakers showcased their talents by highlighting San Francisco’s environmental solutions in a competition organized by the San Francisco Green Film Festival.

Film entries for next year’s San Francisco Green Film Festival are coming in from across the globe.

You want to dive into something creative to make a difference to the world. 

But where to start?

It's easier than you think.

Grab a camera and follow our simple steps to inspire more people to change the world with your 1 minute film. And enter our Climate Action Film Contest!

We want to inspire more local students to pick up a camera, share their story and become environmental leaders. There are already hundreds of you doing it and we want to get your work on the big screen and share the Festival with all of you.

As part of our youth program, we hand-over a slot in our annual Festival program to a team of students from UC Berkeley Student Environmental Resource Center (SERC) to design and produce in their vision.
