I like to blog about things happening in and around Brisbane (god knows we have a lot of time on our hands). So, if you're wanting something to do and are interested in the world around you get along to the Environmental Film Fest which is running Thursday June 25 - Saturday June 27.
A feast of environmental films to shock, inform & inspire action - from one of the most controversial corporations in history, to community resistance in the Andes, to what's at stake with climate change. All enjoyed on the big screen in an intimate setting with delicious food and drinks available, and open discussions surrounding the film themes.
Thursday June 25 - Saturday June 27

Delicious vegetarian food & drinks available from 6:30pm each night of the festival.

The World According to Monsanto
Maker of Agent Orange through to genetically modified seeds, Monsanto is one of the most controversial corporations in history. Behind a green facade claiming to want to solve world hunger, this empire shows capitalism at it’s most anti-environmental & inhumane.

Earth - the movie
A film which stunningly answers - with over 4,000 days of cinematography - the question of what is at stake with climate change. Heart stoppingly beautiful scenes combined with dramatic facts underline the urgent struggle humanity & the globe face.
