Projecting Change Film Festival April 2-5 2009
I can’t wait to check out the Projecting Change Film Festival this weekend. Running from April 2nd to April 5th Projecting Change is a Film Festival all about sustainability, the environment and, you guessed it, the changes we can make to make the world we live in more beautiful. With films that speak about everything from overfishing (The End of the Line) to the challenges facing American Indians (March Point), I don’t know how I am going to pick which films to see.
As an avid cyclist, I can’t wait to see Tina Hahn’s Tale of a Yellow Bike, the story about Maogosha Pyjor’s plight to keep Toronto’s Bike Share Program alive. Just as exciting is James Moll’s Running the Sahara. Narrated by Matt Damon, this documentary tells the story about three men who became the first to successfully run across the Sahara desert. Note to self: bring lots of water.
The first of its kind in Vancouver, what makes Project Change so inspirational is the fact that it tells the stories of how ordinary people like us can be catalysts for environmental and social change. I already feel inspired!
If you want find out more about the films playing at Project Change, be sure to check out their website – www.projectchange.ca.
With tickets starting at just $8, films will be followed by interactive discussions with guest speakers such as David Suzuki, local MP Joyce Murray and Ray Zahab, winner of some of the world’s most difficult footraces.
