Conservation Optimism Short Film Festival

Since the cancellation of the screening of the Conservation Optimism Short Film Festival at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, it’s moved online and will be running a virtual screening of the shortlisted films on the Conservation Optimism YouTube channel, starting at 7pm on May 29th.

The films will then be judged by you in two categories: ‘Students’ and ‘Conservation Optimism’. Winners will get the incredible opportunity to have a 1.5-hour mentoring session with a film-making expert, and prize-winners will be announced on the day following the screening.

There will be a live Q&A sessions on the day of the festival, as well as a virtual exhibition, putting a spotlight on the work of illustrators, photographers and artists.
