Event description

We’re thrilled to participate in the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital—the world’s premier showcase of environmentally themed films. Each year, DCEFF brings together filmmakers, scientists, policymakers, and advocates to explore the planet’s most pressing challenges through the lens of film. The 2026 lineup features documentaries, shorts, and feature films on biodiversity, climate justice, ocean conservation, and more.

This February, for the first time, GFI will join DCEFF’s Preview Event—a special screening of standout selections from this year’s festival, hosted at Georgetown University. The event will feature trailers, early clips, and an engaging tabling session with GFI and other mission-aligned organizations.

Representing GFI will be Tina Rodousakis, Associate Director of Policy Engagement, alongside members of our DC-based team. They’ll share how alternative proteins intersect with climate action and food system sustainability—and connect with attendees from government, academia, and the broader environmental community.

Thank you to the DCEFF team for the warm welcome back. We’re excited to be part of another powerful year of storytelling and systems change.
