The CCFF 2021 took place online internationally and in-person at the COP26 Green Zone in Glasgow.
To combat the most exclusionary COP so far, the CCFF provided a diversity of voices from around the world, focusing on non-western and BIPOC perspectives, narratives, filmmakers and speakers.
We’re proud to announce that our audience was just as diverse! Spanning 2000 cities and 143 countries.
