The American Conservation Film Festival (ACFF) is an annual, four day festival held in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, a vibrant arts community 70 miles west of the nation’s capital.

ACFF is dedicated to promoting outstanding, environmental conservation films from professional filmmakers and students alike.

We screen films that illuminate:

• Human interactions with wildlife and wild places.
• Issues driven by natural resource conservation.
• Humans as part of the environment and/or living in a continuum of cultural tradition.
• Conservation of cultures, communities, and or lifestyles in conjunction with changes in the natural world.
• How youth encounter and understand the natural world.

Join us March 13-15, 2026 and share the experience of watching 26 films together!

Our festival brings fresh new films that tell stories that are beautiful, soul-stirring, thoughtful, challenging, funny, and may even change your life. Plus, in partnership with the Shepherdstown Community Club, we'll be sharing an Indian dinner on Sunday evening. Pop-up conservation-themed events at Evolve throughout the weekend, too!

The Festival returns March 13–15, 2026, in Shepherdstown, WV, at Shepherd University.

We look forward to sharing a powerful lineup of over 25 films, Q&As with filmmakers, and conversations that inspire action and connection.
