We are creating more than a film festival. We are connecting people and resources to create a local community in Rochester that is attuned to the state of the environment and recognizes the urgency of our environmental problems. Here’s how you can be a part of the Fast Forward Film Festival community.
Become a Friend
What are Friends of the Festival?
Friends of the Festival are a growing network of organizations throughout the greater Rochester area that offer support to Fast Forward filmmakers. Friends of the Festival support the festival’s mission and assist festival entrants by providing knowledge, resources, and other means where applicable throughout the submission period.
We are always looking for more Friends to share their expertise and support with the festival filmmakers. Please contact us at info@fastforwardroc.org to learn more about the Friends of the Festival network and how you can be a part of it.

Green Story Guide: A Teaching & Learning Opportunity
The Green Story Guide (GSG) is an interactive educational guide for youth that combines filmmaking resources and storytelling tools with environmental educational materials. Teachers, after-school programs, clubs, and youth groups can use the GSG to learn about environmental topics such as pollution prevention efforts and how they can inspire action in their own community.
