World Premiere Screening and Panel Discussion | FREE to the public by registering @: Eventbrite: How Climate Change Affects Love

The future is bright for BC Youth Week celebrations at the Roundhouse May 2 – 7, 2022.The Department of Decolonization, Arts and Culture is proud to present the world premiere of How Climate Change Affects Love.

Youth become cinematic storytellers in Re-storying Your Future. Part of a 3 month residency, youth and young adults developed a script and created their own narratives on climate change in a 48 hour film shoot. Their new film How Love Affects Climate Change examines what concessions a newlywed couple must make towards affirming their love and mitigating climate change.

This production was developed by Vancouver Park Board: Decolonization, Arts and Culture in partnership with Echo Park Film Centre North and Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House – Frames Film Program, and the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre.

ACTION! Cinema As Sanctuary

Political documentary films take on a renewed role amid a reinvigorated rage against immigrants, refugees and people of color in many places around the world. Through politically engaged cinematic work, many filmmakers are confronting old and new forms of racism, the deepening ungrievability of Black and Brown lives, and precarious realities faced by minority communities including indigenous peoples, the elderly, refugees, women and children. ACTION! Cinema As Sanctuary features political documentary films and filmmaking workshops that re-assert the images and stories that remind us that a compassionate world rooted upon solidarity, friendship, and collective action is possible.

All events are FREE! Check the EPFC Cinema and Workshop calendars for more details.
