Welcome to ECO Film Festival


A weekend of Education and Entertainment for the Environment

The ECO film festival represents a new kind of film festival that is dedicated to increasing awareness about environmental issues and how our daily choices can have a profound affect on the quality of our air, water and land. 

The mission of the ECO film festival is to present thought-provoking films that educate and motivate each one of us to reduce pollution and waste and to protect our environment.

The weekend will feature nine films shown in various locations throughout Beverly along with special festival events. On Saturday the day and evening events take place at the Wylie Conference Center located on Endicott College campus. A Green Lounge will feature companies and grass roots organizations supporting the preservation of our environment.

Saturday night is the Gala Party to benefit Solar Now, the oldest solar site in the U.S., located next to Beverly High School. On Sunday you can enjoy a guided tour of Solar Now, followed by a movie, and then a nice lunch at one of the local restaurants and cafes featuring organic and locally produced menus. Children's activities with educational films and games will be offered throughout the weekend. Sunday night the festival wraps up with an Art and Wine Reception at Montserrat College of Art entitled: "It's Getting Hot in Here".

We welcome the participation of individuals, organizations, and businesses who would like to become involved in the ECO film festival . To join our committee or to support this initiative through sponsorship, please contact:
