Submission declined on 1 July 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Overview

The Animal Nature Future Film Festival (ANFFF) is an international event originating from London, UK. Since its inception, the festival has expanded globally, reaching approximately 2 million viewers worldwide in its first cycle. It attracts audiences interested in animal welfare, nature conservation, and future environmental sustainability. The festival has gained industry support from figures such as Andrea Florence and Peter Venn and is part of the BFI Green Exhibition Program^[1] which advocates for a sustainable film industry.

The festival has received funding from Cinema for All, supported by the BFI and the National Lottery, to develop previously under-engaged areas in the UK by introducing them to cinema and screenings. The festival collaborates with a range of partners, from charities like WildAid to corporations like Tencent.

The festival is managed by International Nature Bond CIC^[2], a community interest company dedicated to fostering environmental consciousness and sustainability through the arts.

Purpose

The mission of the Animal Nature Future Film Festival is to celebrate and highlight positive narratives within the themes of animals, nature, and the future. The festival showcases diverse art forms, including films, exhibitions, and workshops, to promote wildlife protection, natural habitat preservation, climate change awareness, and the sociological relationships between humans and animals.

Geographic Reach

The festival's events span multiple countries, including the UK, China, France, and Nepal.

Partnerships

In 2024, the festival established partnerships with several organizations:

WILDAID: Focuses on species diversity, featuring expert forums, film screenings, and discussions on wildlife conservation.
ED Healer: Explores the relationship between therapy animals and mental well-being through dog-friendly film screenings, cross-art exhibitions, panels, and workshops.
Tencent: Explores pet/animal-friendly corporate culture through employee engagement and initiatives.

Other Activities

Sustainability and ESG: Under the BFI Green Exhibition Program, the festival promotes sustainable practices within the film industry, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of film exhibitions and encourage green practices among participants and audiences.

Under-represented Areas: With funding from Cinema for All (BFI, National Lottery), the festival engages previously under-represented areas in the UK through cinema and screenings. The Audience’s Choice Award Programme hosts over 15 targeted screenings where local audiences vote for an award category.

Pet-Friendly Initiatives: The festival promotes pet-friendly culture in corporate environments like Tencent through employee events and workshops. It also assists public spaces like shopping malls in the UK and China in becoming pet-friendly.
