Pakistan International Wildlife & Eco Film Festival

Cinema for Conservation

The Pakistan International Wildlife & Eco Film Festival (PIWEFF) is a platform celebrating wildlife, environmental and conservation filmmaking from Pakistan and around the world.

PIWEFF brings together filmmakers, researchers, conservationists, environmental organizations, educators, students and audiences through the power of film and storytelling.

Why Film?

Scientific research tells us what is happening.

Film helps people see it, feel it and understand why it matters.

Wildlife and environmental films can take audiences into places they may never visit, introduce them to species they may never encounter and give visibility to communities and conservation challenges that often remain unseen.

PIWEFF uses this power to strengthen environmental awareness and conservation dialogue.

What PIWEFF Does

The festival provides a platform for:

• Wildlife and environmental films
• Conservation documentaries
• Nature and natural-history filmmaking
• Environmental storytelling
• Filmmaker discussions
• Expert panels
• Educational screenings
• Workshops and masterclasses
• Youth engagement
• International cultural exchange

Connecting Pakistan With the World

PIWEFF creates a space where Pakistani environmental stories can reach international audiences while bringing global conservation stories to Pakistan.

The festival encourages exchange between filmmakers, scientists, conservation practitioners and audiences across borders.

Beyond the Festival

PIWEFF is not only about screening films.

It aims to create a continuing ecosystem around environmental storytelling, conservation communication and public engagement.

Through screenings, education, workshops and collaborations, PIWEFF seeks to inspire the next generation of environmental storytellers and conservation advocates.

Our Vision

To make Pakistan a recognized platform for wildlife and environmental storytelling, while using cinema to build a deeper public connection with nature.
