DELWP HUME Sponsored Screening of 2040 Film, BPACC Benalla, Wednesday December 11 2019, from 7.00pm.

29/11/2019

DELWP Hume will be working with communities across the region over the next twelve months to develop a Hume Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan. To support community conversations about how best to respond to the impacts of climate change and adaptation opportunities DELWP is offering financial support to communities by covering the film licencing costs for screening the 2040 film, to enable communities to attend free screenings of the film 2040. 

What is 2040?
Concerned about his young daughter’s future, filmmaker Damon Gameau travels the world in search of new approaches and solutions to global warming.  Gameau positions himself as a glass-half-full idealist, with his first mission to convince people that they can make a difference.  Dividing his focus into key areas, including renewable energy and alternative transportation, with corresponding on the road case studies, he structures the film as a one-way conversation with his four-year-old daughter, who will be 25 when 2040 arrives and, he hopes, part of a brighter and better world.  The outlook of the film is refreshing, empowering, inspiring and positive. (2040 review – an idealist’s vision of a healthy Earth, The Guardian, 4 April 2019)  https://whatsyour2040.com/

The Benalla Sustainable Future Group made a successful application for financial support from DELWP Hume to screen 2040.  With additional support from Benalla Rural City 2040 will screen at BPACC, 57 Samaria Rd Benalla VIC 3672 on Wednesday December 11 from 7.00pm.  

Q&A led by Benalla Sustainable Future Group and a light supper following the film.

Bookings are required to see the film and you can book online at http://bpacc.com.au/theatre/ or by calling 03 5762 5515.

We would like to confirm that our screening of the film Point Of No Return this Thursday will now be held in the John Cooper Hall rather than our normal meeting room at the Benalla Uniting Church. This hall will enable a better viewing experience, and it has seating for about 150 and a kitchen for serving supper after the film.

The film is a free public screening and you are welcome to bring along some friends or pass on the event details to people you know; https://www.bsfg.org.au/news/final-bsfg-meeting-for-2019-thursday-28-november-free-screening-of-the-documentary-point-of-no-return.  RSVP details in this link including an online RSVP.

Note also that the closing date for submission of articles for our December Newsletter was last Sunday.  Articles would still be welcome over the next few days so if you can write about 200 words on something that interests you email it to me and I will forward it to our editor Ian Herbert.

Final BSFG Meeting for 2019 Thursday 28 November, Free Public Screening of the Documentary "Point Of No Return".

12/11/2019

2 Comments

 
The final Meeting of the Benalla Sustainable Future Group for 2019 will be on Thursday November 28th at the Uniting Church, Carrier Street Benalla, opposite the Coles car park.

To finish the year we are screening the film Point Of No Return http://pointofnoreturndoc.com/, the story of the round the world flight by Solar Impulse the solar powered aircraft piloted by Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg who in 2016 succeeded in flying 40,000 km around the world without using a drop of fuel.

This is a free public screening.  All welcome, bring along a friend.

In the words of Bertrand Piccard, Pilot and project initiator “Our goal is not to transport passengers.  Our goal is to transport a message”. And from director Quinn Kanaly, “At its core, this film is about the perseverance and courage it takes to make difficult decisions when everything is on the line. When we look at the daunting challenge of the global climate crisis, this story of innovation and collaboration offers hope.”

The Solar Impulse Foundation is promoting The Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label which “seeks to bridge the gap between ecology and economy, bringing together protection of the environment and financial viability to show that these solutions are not expensive fixes to problems, but rather opportunities for clean economic growth”, https://solarimpulse.com/.
 
Time: 7.15 for a 7.30 start.  Prior to the film BSFG president Peter Holmes will update the meeting on local initiatives to declare a climate emergency.  The film runs for 1hr 35minutes leaving time for supper after the film.

Although it is not necessary to register your attendance, doing so will assist setting up for the night, in particular the room we use for the screening at the Uniting Church.  Register by contacting Peter by Wednesday November 27th; email [email protected] or sms 0418 135 330.  Or submit the online form below the Solar Impulse photo below.
