American Conservation Film Festival 2025: Four Unforgettable Days of Inspiring Stories and Impactful Films
Shepherdstown, WV – The American Conservation Film Festival (ACFF) announces its 2025 Festival, set to take place March 6 – 9 at Shepherd University’s Frank Arts Center in Shepherdstown, WV. The festival will showcase 28 inspiring films that share powerful stories of hope and resilience, highlighting the incredible individuals making a difference for our planet.
This year’s lineup offers animation, documentary, and fictional films ranging from 3 to 90 minutes long. From wolves to fungi, snowy owls to hummingbirds, and green burials to re-wilding a historic English estate, there are topics to fit every interest. All screenings will be presented with open-captioning to ensure accessibility in an atmosphere of shared passion and curiosity. Audiences will have the unique opportunity to connect with more than a dozen filmmakers attending the festival and to hear from scientists including Dr. John Francis, subject of the Oscar shortlisted film
Planetwalker. Movie-goers can dive to the ocean floor, fly through the forests of Hawaii, and travel between Yellowstone National Park and Bengal–all from the comfort of their seats.
ACFF audience members call the films “Wonderful, thought-provoking, engaging, and beautifully done.” Long after the festival ends, the films continue making an impact.
The Frank Arts Center offers a welcoming venue with FREE and easy parking for all attendees. Festival passes and tickets are on sale now. Admission for students (grades 5-12) is free. For more details, visit
