Filmmaking For The Future

We were thrilled to invite young people aged 15-21 to participate in a fun-filled 3-month climate action film project, hosted in partnership with Screenology, BFI Film Academy, and Bio-Leadership.

This project was perfect for passionate individuals eager to learn or develop their filmmaking and storytelling skills to better communicate stories about nature, the planet, and the urgency of the climate emergency.

Premiere of Short Films by Local Youth
Experience powerful short films created by young people over the past three months in partnership with Screenology, Bottleyard Studios, and Bio-Leadership. Inspired by their connection to nature and climate action, these films range from documentaries to experimental pieces, exploring themes like social isolation, nature disconnection, sustainable transport, and visions of a greener Bristol.

Screening of “Rave on for the Avon”
Directed by Charlotte Sawyer, this compelling documentary follows local activists, including the Conham River Bathers, in their efforts to protect the Avon River and advocate for clean water. The film captures a year and a half of environmental activism in Conham River Park, showcasing the passion and commitment of those dedicated to preserving this cherished local ecosystem.

Panel Discussion and Q&A
Join an engaging panel discussion with the young filmmakers and the creatives behind “Rave on for the Avon.” This is a unique opportunity to hear about their creative journeys and insights into climate storytelling, followed by an open Q&A session for audience members.
