Nairobi Earth Film Festival 2026
The Nairobi Earth Film Festival returns in March 2026 as the city hosts its first dedicated environmental film festival, bringing together powerful African stories about people, planet, and resilience.
Taking place during World Wildlife Day week, the festival positions Nairobi — a global hub for environmental policy and activism — at the centre of urgent climate conversations through film, dialogue, and creative exchange.
Across three immersive days, audiences can expect:
🎬 Curated environmental film screenings from across Africa
🎤 Keynote talks by filmmakers, conservationists & thought leaders
🧠 Panel discussions on climate, biodiversity & community resilience
🛠️ Creative workshops & masterclasses for students and professionals
🌱 Interactive sessions bridging art, activism, and policy
The Nairobi Earth Film Festival is more than a screening event — it’s a meeting point for storytellers, environmental advocates, educators, institutions, and the public, united by a shared responsibility to the planet.
Whether you’re a filmmaker, climate practitioner, student, or curious citizen, this festival invites you to watch, listen, question, and act.
