The movies are coming

The past few Chronicles have made mention of a Transition Movie Festival that aims to share the current information about building community resilience to the twin challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change.
The movie program has been set, the Hall booked and the data projector and screen purchased, thanks to a Volunteers Small Equipment Grant from the Dept of Families, Housing, Community and Indigenous Affairs.

The movie marathon is running over several months, with multiple screenings over Friday, Saturday or Sunday so that as many people as possible can see the movies at a time that’s convenient for them.

All the film sessions will also have Conversation Café forums to gather ideas and issues that arise from the films.The format for the viewings will run to a pre-advertised schedule so that people can come along to any particular film that is showing, and not have to stay for all the films.

All the movies will be shown at Progress Hall, and there’ll be supper/food available.
