Environmental Film Festival

Each February, University of Richmond hosts a free film screening as part of the RVA Environmental Film Festival. The festival showcases local and national films at different locations across the city to raise awareness of environmental issues and connect people to the power of the natural world. For more information about other film screenings around the city, visit the festival's website.

We will host the 2026 RVA Environmental Film Festival on Thursday, February 26 at 7:00pm in the Jepson Hall, Room 118. Our film selection this year is Cigarette Surfboard, a story about an individual who created a surfboard out of thousands of cigarette butts littering California Beaches. This project led to a greater journey to reduce toxic waste in our waterways.
