Environmental Film Festival Australia 2015
Eight straight days of environmentally-conscious cinema.
Overview
Arctic oil drilling. Corporate and government corruption. The dangers of nuclear waste. Some of the biggest environmental issues facing Planet Earth today are in the mix at this year's Environmental Film Festival Australia.
Hosted over eight days at Kino Cinemas on Collins Street, the festival begins on Thursday, September 3 with the world premiere of João Dujon Pereira's Black Hole. Filmed over the course of more than a year, the film documents the community battle to save Leard State Forest in NSW from being cleared to make way for a controversial coal mine. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with both the director and former Greens leader Bob Brown.
Other highlights on the program include a special planetarium screening of coral reef documentary Coral: Rekindling Venus, and a biodynamic food tasting that pairs perfectly with the film Good Things Await.
