At every event, we strive to build connections between the moving personal stories & ideas in our films and the local environmental context and action.
Our Community Partners consist of leading environmental, arts, and community organisations across the region. They bring the expertise and opportunities for our audiences to make lasting environmental change.
We collaborate with our Community Partners at the Festival and throughout the year, aiming to bring more environmental films & discussions to wider audiences and promote the ongoing work we are all involved in.
New community-led initiatives at the 2023 Festival included the Eco Fair, Repair Café, Activity Hub, Climate Café, and Beach Dook. These will now be regular features, along with a range of free activities for all ages designed to inspire & motivate attendees to take action.
How to Get Involved with the 2024 Festival
