Transitions Film Festival 2015
The perfect festival for the socially responsible film-goer.
Overview
On your bikes, greenies. Australia's most environmentally-conscious film forum is back for another year. With more than 20 documentaries showing all around Melbourne, this year's Transitions Film Festival has the makings of their biggest yet.
The fun begins with a number of outdoor screenings, starting with program opener Inside Out: The People's Art Project at Testing Grounds on Friday, February 13. Other open-air options include a free screening of the nine-part climate change series Years of Living Dangerously at Federation Square, plus a special projector bike session that begins with a cycling tour around town.
Less weather-dependent sessions will be hosted at Cinema Nova and our pick of the litter is Robert Kenner's Merchant of Doubt — a jaw-dropping doco about the shady business of climate change denial. Other tantalising titles include food waste documentary Just Eat It, as well as the visually splendid Love Thy Nature, which is narrated by Liam Neeson.
