Overview

The world as we know it could do with some improvement. That's a bit of an understatement; however it's also the idea behind Sydney's returning Transitions Film Festival. This showcase of cinema aims to explore ways in which our future could be brightened, covering a huge range of topics such as food, climate change, animal welfare and renewable energy.

Transitions doesn't just have an environmental focus, however. Refugees, social justice and artificial intelligence all rate a mention on the fest's seven-doco lineup. It screens for four days at Dendy Newtown, between Monday, April 1 and Thursday, April 4.

Highlights include It Will Be Chaos, which charts an Eritrean refugee's attempt to navigate Italy's immigration system, as well as More Human Than Human, which ponders AI.

A program of shorts also features, on subjects such as regenerative agriculture, tiny homes and the effects of plastics on marine life.
