Be a part of the 14th One Earth Film Festival official launch on April 22nd, 2025 at Chicago’s thoughtfully modern Sarabande–located steps away from the Chicago River. It’s the perfect time on our planet and the perfect party backdrop to celebrate the power found in unity, as we rally around our essential yet endangered natural resources.

Celebrate! Yes there IS cause for celebration–even amidst great challenges.

Together, in unity, we are helping create more resilient communities and a healthier planet.

Expect to Enjoy:

• A chance to escape, recharge, and party with like-minded filmmakers and advocates in a stunning space
• Gourmet plant-based heavy hors d'oeuvres, sweet treats and sips
• An inspiring toast from the illustrious 2025 OEFF filmmakers
• A brief program celebrating our Chicago River and local waterways, including opening remarks from the City of Chicago Chief Sustainability Officer and Commissioner of the Department of Environment, Angela Tovar; a screening of One Earth’s Young Filmmakers Contest winner Bohdana Bihdan’s film, Ocean Monologue; and more
• A Chicago River-themed interactive art weaving experience by our partners at the Nowhere Collective; guests are invited to please bring any textiles to recycle (especially in colors blue and white) through this group arts experience
• The chance to win a smart, stylish, and sustainable Radio Flyer Folding Cargo Bike and other incredible prizes

We can’t wait to see and celebrate with you!
