ALT EFF 2025 <> Veditum x Red Bari x KCM

In a world where the old stories of domination over nature no longer hold, we stand at a crossroads: regeneration or collapse. What will be (y)our legacy?

All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF), the world’s largest decentralised film festival, is back for its 6th edition with groundbreaking cinema that reframes our gaze toward stories of renewal, resilience, and hope.

Join us at The Red Bari for a unique evening of climate cinema, art, and community. Expect stellar films, rich conversations, and the kind of community you’ve been waiting to meet.
