Far North Film Festival

Wrangell St Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska Geographic, and the Far North Conservation Film Festival would like to present a diverse group of outstanding films about conservation and sustainability of wildlife, wild places and cultures from around the world.

The Far North Conservation Film Festival began in 2003 in celebration of National Wildlife Refuge Week. After growing and developing, the festival is in its 6th year of celebrating the diversity and sustainability of wildlife, wild places, and cultures around the world and in the far north! The Far North Conservation Film Festival is a place for filmmakers, local people, and local businesses to support media that matters in promoting global conservation.
