Towards a Sustainable Festival
RECIF is gradually embracing an environmentally responsible approach by adopting simple, practical actions. A charter, designed to evolve with each edition, reflects this commitment and invites both the team and the public to join this collective effort.
RECIF’s program highlights key issues. This year, the school screenings feature an educational program that raises awareness about deforestation.
Beyond the screenings, outreach activities will explore and question our relationship with the environment.
To help guide the audience, all films and activities addressing these themes are marked with the festival’s “Green” badge.
RECIF is supported by the New Caledonia Film Festival Association, founded in March 2024.
