EFF25 After Dark Shorts: Environmental Film Festival 2025

Environmental Film Festival is back, running 16-23 October and celebrating our 15th year by returning to the cinema where we first started, Palace Kino!

We’ll finish the fest on Thursday, 23 October, at our regular haunt, Wildflower Video Bar in Fitzroy North, with a double feature session.

We'll finish out with a festival special edition of our fan-favourite ‘After Dark’ series, an eclectic mix of weird, wonderful and boundary-pushing shorts, exploring ideas of environment and what it means to live in a more-than-human world.

Get lost in Kaurna Country with Australian short ‘Blissonance’, feel delighted and devastated by Swiss animated mockumentary ‘Martha’, consider the future of streaming with unique speculative fiction ‘The Lost Season’, be exposed to the foils of luxury housing with ‘Floods Recede To Luxury’ and connect with the Irish backyard in ‘The Residents of 49’.

Environmental Films Australia is a volunteer-run community group based in Naarm (Melbourne) that promotes action through cinema, community and connection. We prioritise climate and environments through film, provide platforms for artists to showcase their work, and create space for people to connect and exchange solutions.
