Contents San Francisco Green Film Festival The San Francisco Green Film Festival was an environmental film festival which was held annually from 2011 to 2019. History The festival was founded by Rachel Caplan who had previously worked for the Edinburgh Film Festival the San Francisco Film Society and the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival. 1 She created the festival to connect international environmental films and filmmakers with San Francisco Bay Area audiences and increase awareness of the climate crisis. Over 9 years the Festival grew from a 3day programme in one small venue to a weeklong event in multiple venues across the city and the largest environmental film festival in the USA outside the longestablished Environmental Film Festival in the Nations Capital in Washington D.
