Earth Stories is a Keele University based environmental film festival targeted at young filmmakers (16-25 years old). The festival is managed by a student team from Keele’s Media and Film programmes with the supervision and support of academics from these departments. The festival will provide a platform for students and young filmmakers from across the world to showcase their filmmaking talent. The event will present new and inspirational stories addressing the climate crisis, nature’s degradation, and highlight pathways for sustainable futures through human-nature reconnections. This festival is funded by former Keele University students through the Alumni Keele Key Fund.
