Interested in taking part in the 2025 Our Shared Futures: Climate & Migration Community Film Festival?

Join us for an online information session and Q&A to learn more about how you or your organisation can get involved.

What is Our Shared Futures?

Running 21–30 November 2025, during COP30 in Brazil and marking Climate Justice & Migrant Justice Day (22 Nov), this free community film programme shares powerful stories from around the world exploring the intersection of climate and migration.

Curated by Counterpoints Arts, in partnership with Earth Refuge, CMJ (Climate & Migrant Justice Organising Group), and City of Sanctuary, the festival features a selection of feature-length and short films.

These films explore themes of climate crisis, displacement, colonialism, resilience, and hope - creating accessible entry points into urgent conversations that affect us all.

How it works

Anyone in the UK can take part by hosting a screening - whether in a community centre, library, cinema, school, workplace, outdoors, or even at home.

  • Films are available free of charge via UK online streaming during the festival dates (21–30 November).
  • Each screening comes with resources and discussion prompts to help spark reflection, dialogue, and action - strengthening solidarity across communities and movements.
