The American Conservation Film Festival is an annual event held in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, a vibrant arts community 70 miles west of the nation’s capital.  The ACFF features films from a diverse group of conservation filmmakers around the world.

As part of our mission, the ACFF:

• Provides a venue for a diverse range of conservation films, many that rarely receive a wide showing;
• Celebrates conservation film and video in the fun, eclectic atmosphere of historic Shepherdstown, WV;
• Showcases independent, historic, international, and publicly funded films;
• Offers education that complements the film selections and supports those interested in conservation filmmaking.
