Feedback/Comments
It was a really enlightening documentary. Highly recommend.
The documentary on the closing of Hazelwood was an eyeopener & it was very interesting to hear the views of those wh
o live & worked there.
Inspirational story about the opportunities that climate change can bring & hovw it can ultimately draw us together.
Interesting films with thought provoking messages.
HOW TO LET GO OF THE WORLD AND LOVE ALL THE THINGS CLIMATE CAN’T CHANGE. Brilliant and very moving. Josh Fox delivers the raw and dis empowering truth wrapped in a glimmer of hope.
Thoroughly enjoyed River Blue!!!
Profound. Look forward to more.
ESTEEM is a brilliant piece of work, threaded with compassion, empathy and learning to share our vulnerabilities as a strength and how these themes are intertwined with our care of the environment and ourselves.
I have learnt about Nepal's situation regarding orphans. Michael is very kind and inspiring.
Another inspirational film from the Trsnsition Film Festival. Well made and thought provoking. We can all do our bit! We can all change the way things are. Great stuff
Our power - really interesting doco and Q&A
The Transitions Film 'Esteem' was a revelation. It asks us to consider that internal damage within us as a root cause for the outward planetary destruction. It's meditative approach could well be a catalyst for recognising 'so within as without' on a global scale.
Extremely insightful and the message/s need to get across to mainstream otherwise we are on destructive path.
Humanitarians. Inspirational. A real eye-opener
Thought provoking
Fascinating insight as to what is happening in that part of the world. The vastness of the country makes what they are doing pale to insignificance, but sadly the impact is huge. A great festival! Thank you
WHAT LIES BELOW - interesting doco about blind fisherman/environmental scientist,mexamining the changes to fish stocks, river quality and commercial interests. This is a really good Film Festival, so try and see one of the other worthy films while it is in Melb.
absolutely aMazing and inspiring!!! I'm gonna be a Vegan now!!!
Eye opening - always interesting to see what transitions film festival has in store!
