In the Spotlight today is the 6th Annual Environmental Film Festival at Yale (EFFY), a student-run celebration of creative works that seek to help improve and protect the health of our planet. With a focus on nurturing spirited discourse around a wide range of environmental topics, EFFY brings together leaders in climate change, conservation, wildlife preservation, and filmmaking to investigate the ways in which the arts and media can generate positive social change.

Founded by students at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, EFFY has since grown to become an impressive force in the Hollywood community and has been praised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as one of the "20 Great Resources for Green Filmmakers." Every screening at EFFY is paired with a Q&A featuring some of the most respected voices in environmental fields, and all screenings and special events at the festival are open to the public, free of charge.

Past EFFY celebrations and discussions have included presentations by Dan Rather, Van Jones, James Gustave Speth, Colin Beavan, and more. The festival has also played host to Oscar darlings Waste Land, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, and The Cove. Last year's EFFY welcomed the American premiere of GMO OMG, a film investigating the perils caused by lack of seed diversity in an increasingly corporate climate.
