Filmmakers for Conservation

Filmmakers for Conservation is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring filmmakers to use their films and media to conserve the natural world. FFC formed in 1999, when over a hundred conference delegates of the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival gathered to discuss the role of conservation in natural history films, and vowed to devote more... funding, airtime, focus, leadership and urgency toward using their craft to become a stronger voice for conservation. Today, FFC stands as a global community of passionate people formally united in the common cause of using the power of film and media to conserve the natural world. FFC offers annual conservation filmmaker awards; piloted the Great Ape Film Initiative with BBC; developed sustainability guidelines and a code of ethics for conservation filmmaking; and offers its members an opportunity to network; to keep abreast of new developments in the field; and to seek out potential sources of funding for conservation films. FFC continues to grow and seek new opportunities to advance its mission. The future holds great promise, as new projects are launched regularly.Read More
