In addition to special screenings, “spotlights,” panels and other activities, the IETFF will present twenty-two short films, documentaries and narrative features in its Competition. The Film Pro Meetings provide an opportunity for industry professionals and emerging filmmakers to meet and collaborate.

Through a partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council the Festival’s forums and events will provide platforms to educate audiences, filmmakers, government leaders and studio executives on ecologically sound life practices and on environmentally responsible film production techniques.
