You’re invited to our ”2040 Community Screening & Gardening Collective Launch” on Friday 17th May 4-7pm. The free screening of this positive and practical environmental film will be to launch our new gardening and food growing project.
We are looking for interested people (no previous experience required!) to join a group of volunteers working in various community gardens and green spaces around the Old Town to make the city a greener place and to encourage local food growing. More information and discussion at the event, or if you can’t make it but are still interested to know more please send me an email!
Would be grateful if you can share this information with anyone else who may be interested.

Movie Synopsis: Award-winning director Damon Gameau embarks on a journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream. Structured as a visual letter to his 4-year-old daughter, Damon blends traditional documentary with dramatised sequences and high-end visual effects to create a vision board of how these solutions could regenerate the world for future generations.
