Environmental Films Australia is teaming up with Wildflower Video Bar to run a series of film events this winter.
A casual film club and community catch up, these screenings offer a unique opportunity to watch a wide variety of environmental cinema, rarely seen anywhere else, explore our place in the wider world, and connect with new friends.
On 24 June and 26 July, enjoy a selection of environmental films from around the world. Each evening will host a double feature showcase of 'EFA presents' and 'EFA After Dark'.
Grab a drink in the bar before and after, to discuss the films and get to know each other and the Environmental Films Australia team.
EFA PRESENTS: TWIG (2024)
Byong Hyon Kwon, a former South Korean ambassador to China, has a vision for the desert of Inner Mongolia: fighting the encroaching sand by planting millions of trees.
Yellow streams of sand flow across the dunes in the Kubuqi Desert, where 81-year-old Ambassador Kwon plants trees with hundreds of students in matching green jackets chanting, “Save the Earth!”
The tree planting effort is grandiose and the results seemingly impressive: long rows of green trees growing amid the yellow dunes. As the winds whip up the desert’s surface into sandstorms and Kwon’s freshly planted trees begin to disappear in the yellow winds, this quirky documentary wonders: are these unlikely forests and this unlikely environmental leader up to the task?
