Join us for the opening night of the Transition Town Totnes Film Festival, featuring music, words, films, wine, beer, laughter and tears.
Transition Town Totnes are not only celebrating the opening of the third Transition film festival, but also the 10th anniversary of the worlds first Transition Town.
The night will be hosted by poet Matt Harvey and will feature songs from acclaimed a capella choir Glorious Chorus and singer song writer Ros Brady, a deep ecologist who has written songs from interviews with top environmental thinkers such as Patrick Holden, Mary Colwell, Jonathon Porrit and Vandana Shiva. She tours the country with her partner Simon Barron also as folk duo BarronBrady.
We will also take a glance at TTT’s past, present and future with Rob Hopkins and others, enjoy film shorts from across our 10 years, have a sneak preview of film trailers from the festival programme and of course enjoy local beer and wine from the bar.
Price: Free event, donations gratefully received
