CAFF 2022

CAFF returned as a virtual festival in 2022, meeting viewers in the comfort of their own homes with 10 short films from around the world, exclusive Q&As with featured filmmakers, and local spotlights on our beneficiary partners.

With this year’s festival, we wanted to draw attention to the indisputable fact that climate change is caused by unsustainable systems that reward extractive behavior with massive wealth. A sustainable future lies beyond our existing paradigms, and in order to get there, we need to reimagine what’s possible. CAFF 2022 showcased the dedicated individuals across the world answering the call by applying their ingenuity, energy, and time to this existential challenge.
