Eco Kids Film Initiative

The Eco Kids Film Initiative (EKFI) is a project of the South African Eco Film Festival (SAEFF). EKFI is a collaborative project dedicated to environmental education and awareness-raising through film as a medium. We aim to facilitate and engender a greater creative atmosphere and cultural demand for film and media that is environmental in character. Our vision is to nurture the creation of a growing youth audience that is environmentally aware and active. This growing awareness can lead directly to behavioural changes and indirectly lead to a spill over to the rest of the family, school or community. We are committed to facilitating the establishment of an educated film viewing culture that is devoted to media that reflects a sustainable culture-nature relationship infused with a respectful curiosity toward the conservation of our rich biodiversity and natural heritage.
