For suggesting/submitting green films. Deadline for submission: October 1, 2021.

Films should tell the story of local environmental issues, their champions, and/or how you can make a difference. Films should be no more than seven minutes and must be of suitable quality to be shown.

CEC will virtually show environmental and educational films that illustrate the earth’s beauty, the challenges facing our planet and people, and the work communities are doing to protect the environment—with a focus on environmental stories with a direct tie-in to the Houston/Gulf Coast region. Through these films, CEC hopes to inform people about the state of the environment in the Houston/Gulf Coast region, and inspire them to take action.

CEC accepts all films with an environmental theme including documentaries, animation, shorts, features, and narratives. We look for environmental films that are entertaining, educational, and above all inspirational. We want our audiences to be inspired to make a difference in our communities and world. Possible topics might include climate change, biodiversity, water or air quality, teaching youth, environmental justice, wildlife in your backyard, and much more.

****We are looking for films with an environmental message specific to the Houston/Gulf Coast region.**** If you are neither a locally-based filmmaker nor submitting a film featuring the Houston region, please do not submit a film.
