The 14th annual SkeenaWild Film & Photo Festival (SWFF) is back, proudly hosted by SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and NCMBA!

This one-of-a-kind event celebrates films and photography that capture the beauty, wildlife, and people of the Skeena Watershed, a truly inspiring reminder of how deeply our community cares about this incredible region.

In 2024, the festival saw record-breaking participation with sold-out screenings across Terrace, Smithers, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, and Haida Gwaii, plus over 500 online views. We received our highest-ever number of submissions, showcasing the passion and creativity of artists throughout the watershed.

This year, we’re excited to bring the festival back for another evening of celebration, storytelling, and community connection.
