North American Premiere
Screening as part of the 2nd Swiss Innovation FEST Vancouver and presented with the Swiss Film Club, this climate change documentary looks at practical ways we can participate in the world more sustainably. The movie focuses on three fields — building, farming, and fashion — and on filmmaking itself. Construction engineer Felix is experimenting with replacing cement with clay to reduce waste in building. Fashion designer Sanaz is committed to producing eco-conscious clothes and repurposing secondhand material. Food activist Dominik is campaining to take chemicals out of farming. And filmmaker Tobias is attempting to make a net zero movie… he and the team produce their own electricity, eat ecologically and use sustainable means of transport. Together they overcome resistance and show that change is possible.
This screening will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A

Also Playing
Fairy Creek
Considered the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history, the Fairy Creek blockade led to more than 1200 arrests. What Jen Muranetz's film gives us is the story from the front line from the activists' point of view (often, from the treetops).
Super Happy Forever
This beguiling film depicts a man’s return to the Japanese seaside town where he met his now-deceased wife five years earlier. He tries to relive the past, and in the film's final section -- a flashback to 2018 -- the audience is afforded that privilege.
Inedia
Liz Cairns makes a mesmerizing feature debut that sees a young woman suffering from mysterious food allergies join a remote island community practicing alternative healing methods. She soon realizes that not everything is as it seems.
Drop Dead City
New York, 1975. The city is minutes away from bankruptcy and President Gerald Ford wants no part of it. Sanitation workers are on strike and cops are telling tourists it's not safe to visit. The town is going up in flames and they can't pay the firemen.
