A Thriving Future through Film and Fiction: EFFY x Yale Planetary Solutions

​The Environmental Film Festival at Yale (EFFY) and Yale Planetary Solutions will jointly present winning EFFY short films and Sci X Sci-Fi short stories. These selections bring together speculative, science-forward, and imaginative narratives that explore planetary futures, environmental science, and the role of storytelling in shaping how we understand and respond to global challenges. Following a mixed screening and reading, filmmakers and writers will be invited to join a moderated discussion with Sci X Sci-Fi Creatives-in-Residence Stephanie Barish and Tory Stephens to discuss the importance of telling climate stories through various media to reach broader audiences in climate conversations and inspire action.
