Summary of the activity
The Earth Futures Festival is an international film and video event showcasing the important role
geoscience plays in tackling our most pressing global challenges; climate change, the management of
our natural resources (water, minerals, energy, soils), transitions to cleaner energy, mitigation of the
risks from natural hazards such as volcanic eruptions and building sustainable cities. A staggering
972 films from 89 countries were submitted to the inaugural Earth Futures Festival in 2022. Over
several months these were assessed and carefully considered by a team of expert judges to select
the top 50 Films, consisting of 21 Finalist Films (nominated for category and theme awards) and 29
Official Selection Films.
We have put together a compilation of volcano-related Earth Futures Festival films to screen
especially for the IAVCEI 2023 Volcanofest. The films can also be accessed via the website.
The Earth Futures Festival is in collaboration with the UNESCO International Geoscience Program
and supported by the International Union of Geological Sciences.
