I am really excited to announce I am hosting another night at the Vancouver Mountain Film Festival (VIMFF) on SaturdayFebruary 11th.
Tickets available here
Last year the night was a huge success and sold out well in advance of the night. We were able to show the Premiere of the environmental film The Last Stand For Lelu (which you can now watch in full here), and the Canadian Premiere of the film The Gold of Bengal (which went on to win best adventure film at the festival).
The theme is the same this year " The Change I Want To See" but we have a new powerful lineup. This time around it seems even more topical with all of the films and speakers focusing on the alternatives to the fossil fuel industry and the messaging we have been hearing recently from Donald Trump. If you have grown frustrated recently with everything happening in America then this night is designed to offer you some hope.

Speakers
Lynne Quarmby
Lynne will speak to the struggles of sustained and effective individual engagement in climate justice activism. How do we stay positive? Where should we put our efforts?
David Lavallee
David has directed multiple award winning documentaries. He will talk about how he hopes the films will bring a much needed sanity to not only the energy debate, but the struggle for an economic paradigm that actually makes sense.

Our ability to adapt is only limited by our ability to learn.
