  • Festival Description:

    The Wildscreen Festival was founded by Sir Peter Scott in 1982 and has been organized every other year for the past 25 years. Held in Bristol, the world’s center for wildlife filmmaking, the Wildscreen Festival attracts hundreds of delegates from around the globe who work in film, television and the press, as well as those actively involved in working to conserve the environment.

    The main components of the Wildscreen Festival are the innovative key events, the Panda Awards and trade show.

    Wildscreen is heavily supported by the largest names in wildlife filmmaking such as the BBC, Five and Animal Planet, camera manufacturers such as Panasonic, scientific institutions such as the Natural History Museum, as well as organisations that are becoming more aware of their own environmental responsibility.  We are also supported by international conservation organisations such as Conservation International.

    The Wildscreen Festival is organised by UK-based charity Wildscreen, which runs a number of  initiatives that use the power of film and photography to inspire conservation.

    The Wildscreen Festival programs Environmental, Wilderness and issue-based political films.

    Awards include: Best Film, Cinematography, Editing, Conservation, Campaigning, Earth Sciences, News and Popular Broadcast amongst many others. This festival is biennial.
