What is effy?
Every spring, EFFY showcases incisive, cutting edge films that highlight the environmental and social issues of our time. By bringing together filmmakers, scholars, students, and the broader community, the festival fosters critical conversations about climate change, conservation, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of environmental and societal challenges. Through its carefully curated selection of films, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions, EFFY amplifies the voices of those at the forefront of environmental advocacy and inspires action for a more sustainable future.
Who IS EFFY?
We are a group of Yale graduate students and affiliates who are committed to advancing environmental awareness through the power of film. Each year, EFFY supplants its graduating leadership with promising descendants who perpetually renew the festival with fresh ideas and insights. We strive to empower the expanding community of environmental filmmakers by showcasing their work and facilitating their development. If EFFY sparks meaningful conversations while motivating others to act on newfound convictions, then our festival has succeeded.
