LIGHTS, CAMERA... CLIMATE ACTION!

The latest Festevez roundup of Australian Film Festivals indicates that BOFA is the only feature length film festival to be totally online. And it’s FREE. Note: We will send you your code to view all the films in the festival on 30th April. You can watch one or many in any order. 

Each week we will send you a round up of what you can see – and why.

Credit for this festival goes to wonderful backers of the festival like UPC Renewables, and to our other corporate and government sponsors  Events Tasmania, City of Hobart, City of Launceston,  Launceston Film Society, Optus, McArthur Financial,  Fermentasmania and Cityprom.

UPC Renewables, as Australia’s premiere wind and solar power company, is the proud sponsor of our Climate Action films. A huge thank you for your support in these difficult times!

What a Line-Up of Climate Action Films

Climate change has almost been forgotten in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The newly created Bushfires Royal Commission reminds us that the mega-fires of summer 2020 are the “new normal” and that climate action can’t wait.

Okavango - River of Dreams

Start your Climate Action film viewing with Okavango - River of Dreams to see the  fragility – and beauty – of this Southern African ecological gem, one of the greatest rivers on Earth. Winner of the 2020 Washington Environmental Film Festival Shared Earth Foundation Award for Advocacy. This is what we must protect.

Wilder than Wild

Wilder than Wild looks closely at the role of climate change in the recent mega-fires of California – and the climate action solutions that are being implemented on the ground there. A clear message for us in Australia.

Burning in the Sun

This fascinating film of one man’s quest to bring solar power to impoverished Mali villagers places renewable energy in a human context. Not to be missed.

Expedition to the End of the World

For a change of pace join this eclectic mix of scientists, artists, and philosophers who set off to investigate the rapidly melting massifs of North-East Greenland. Visually ravishing, thought-provoking and benefitting from just enough playfulness to set it apart from the nature-doc herd, this film will have you discussing and chuckling in equal measure.

SUPPORT THE ARTS

Australia’s cultural and creative sector is a $111.7bn industry: six times the size of the aviation industry. Most of Australia’s 50,000 practising professional artists and 600,000 creative industry workers will NOT be covered by stimulus measures announced to date, either because of their casual working arrangements, or because their employers’ complex cashflows render them ineligible to access workers’ support on their behalf. 

So, if you enjoy the FREE BOFA online festival why not DONATE to artists and organisations that are battling through COVID-19.
