‘In Transition’ Movie Night

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

On Saturday May 23rd at Flutterbies Cottage Cafe in Tyaldum, we will be hosting a special screening of the premiere of the new film ‘In Transition’ which will be streamed live on the internet from the UK!

With input from Transition communities around the world it tells the story of the people that have looked peak oil and climate change square in the face, and responded with creativity, compassion and genius. In the film you will see the stories of communities creating their own currencies, setting up their own pubs, planting trees, growing food.  You’ll see local authorities getting behind their local Transition initiatives, and get a sense of the scale of this emerging movement.

It is a story of hope and it is a call to action, and is a support to the Caldera Economic Transition project being held in Tyalgum the following day.

Flutterbies will be open from 7:30pm and there will be a $10 cover charge for the night which includes a light dinner. Earlier in the evening we will also be screening the documentary ‘The Future of Farming’, a recent BBC documentary – so popular it was shown twice in one month! Coffee and dessert will be available through-out the night as well, however this is not included in the cover charge. Bookings are Essential! Please come join us for a special night of celebration and information.

Here is the trailer…
