Community Film Screening & Mini Film Festival Events
A film screening with Q & A session is a fantastic way to effectively bring awareness, education and empower your community to be a part of the solution to plastic pollution. We can facilitate a film screening organised by your community group by holding a pre-film talk and conducting a Q & A after. We can also run a MINI FILM FESTIVAL style event which involves a series of very short films chosen for your expected audience.
At these events, we will have a display table of solutions and tips for people to reduce their plastic consumption. Please contact us to discuss which film will best fit the needs and resources of your community.
(Some of these films are for a general audience and some are only suitable for 12 years and over - we recommend that parents watch the trailer before bringing children.)

Tapped
(76 mins)
Examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil. The documentary is well structured and presents an overwhelming amount of evidence which will change the way anyone thinks about bottled and municipal water. Both the "manufacture" of the water itself, and also where the bottles come from, where they go after use and how they influence our lives while they're with us. The willful absence of major companies such as Coke, Pepsi and Nestle is extremely telling in light of all the material presented.

Blue
(76 mins)
BLUE is the story our generation need to hear. The industrialization that has occurred in the oceans over the last century, mirrors the events that triggered mass extinctions on land. Industrial scale fishing, habitat destruction, species loss and pollution have placed the ocean in peril. The very nature of the sea is being irretrievably altered. BLUE is a provocative journey into the ocean realm, witnessing this critical moment in time when the marine world is on a precipice.

Albatross
(98 mins)
On our second trip to Midway, the project's focus began to evolve, as we met the live albatrosses singing and dancing by the hundreds of thousands all over the island. Returning to Midway a total of eight times over four years, we experienced the birds' beauty, grace, and sentience more and more vividly with each trip. They allowed us to witness their most tender moments at astonishingly close range, as the mated pairs snuggled and built their nests together, their babies hatched from their eggs, and the fluffy chicks waited alone for their parents to return from their foraging trips to sea. The poetry of the albatross revealed itself layer by layer with intimate footage of every stage of their cycles of life, death, and birth.

A Plastic Ocean
(101 mins)
In the center of the Pacific Ocean gyre our researchers found more plastic than plankton. A Plastic Ocean documents the newest science, proving how plastics, once they enter the oceans, break up into small particulates that enter the food chain where they attract toxins like a magnet. These toxins are stored in seafood’s fatty tissues, and eventually consumed by us.
