Forgotten Corner Film Festival
Sat/Sun, 16/17th February 2019
Venue: Rame Peninsula

*Lights, camera, climate action!*

Don't miss out on the Forgotten Corner Film Festival, coming to the Rame Peninsula on February 16 and 17.

The aim of this inspirational event is to remind us of how much there still is in the world to protect and celebrate, and to give us the motivation to get up and be a part of the change our planet so desperately needs.

The festival will feature a wide selection of films, ranging from low-budget local productions to game-changing international ones - as well as talks, live music and bar, a junk food café and sound bath meditation.

Donations from the event will help raise funds for local beach cleaning and marine conservation group Rame Peninsula Beach Care (www.ramepbc.org), the Old Ship social housing project in Cawsand and the Joy Rescue project, a Kenyan NGO working to support low income families.

Just some of the highlights (see full programme here (6MB, be patient for file to load)) will include:

·        *Albatross*, an incredibly powerful and moving film by photographer Chris Jordan documenting Laysan albatrosses, which raise their young in the heart of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

·        *Wild Cornwall – Out on the Edge*, a stunning film about the incredible wildlife dramas played out right here under our noses, by former BBC wildlife cameraman Ian McCarthy who will also be at the event to take questions from the audience

·        *Tomorrow (Demain), *an upbeat, award-winning French documentary, travelling the world to find concrete solutions to environmental and social challenges – in agriculture, energy, economics, education and governance

·        *Gypsea Stories* –* Wylo II* a film about local sailor and legend Nick Skeates, who has sailed the world on his handmade wooden boat and does everything the old-school way

·        *The Age of Stupid*, a drama-documentary-animation hybrid starring Pete Postlethwaite looking back from 2055 and asking why we didn’t do something to tackle climate change when we had the chance!
