Join us at the National Museum of Scotland for an afternoon of inspiring conservation films, conversations and community action!
The Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival returns in 2027, showcasing stories from across the world that celebrate the natural environment and the individuals and communities working to protect and restore it.
The afternoon includes a screening of the festival’s shortlisted films, followed by a prize-giving ceremony, panel discussion and audience Q&A.
