Join us in experiencing the thoughtful and exhilarating short films which take us to the heart of the forests and why we should care for them.

Films for the Forest is an annual juried short film collection that uses the power of creative storytelling to convene, empower, and activate global audiences to take action on behalf of the world's forests. The theme for the 2025/2026 competition is: "More Than Trees." 

Founded by Rainforest Partnership, Films for the Forest (F3) is an international short film challenge judged by a panel that includes Richard Linklater, Oscar-nominated director, judge since 2010 and Co-Host along with conservationist and Oscar-nominated film producer, Mike Blizzard. Event emcee will be Hugh Forrest.
