Handle Climate Change Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
Handle Climate Change Film Festival (HCCFF) is Shenzhen’s pioneering climate-focused film event and is described as the first film festival in China centered on climate change. It showcases films on climate change, environmental protection, science and technology exploration, social documentary, and public-service environmental messages, alongside forums, lectures, screenings, and workshops. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its role as a major public-engagement platform for climate communication in China and from its recognition by Chinese environmental authorities as a notable public participation case.
