Nov 19th, 2023 Film Festival Returns at Totnes Cinema

/in , , /by

We’re thrilled to announce that the 6th Transition Town Totnes Film Festival will take place at the much-loved venue, Totnes Cinema, on November 19th. The event aims to bring people together through the shared love of film and storytelling, to explore ways in which we can live more sustainably in these times of change.

In the morning the café will be open as usual from 10am for the general public and there will be an opportunity to join filmmakers Emilio Mula and Edson Acero for a workshop in animation. Details about how to register for this workshop will soon be available on our website.

The afternoon will be a ticketed event from 2pm for the screening of two documentary films by Cornwall Climate Care, Food for Thought and Under the Surface, both of which will be introduced by the filmmaker Claire Wallerstein.

A very special evening will commence from 7pm with a guest speaker introducing the film King Cole. An announcement will be made soon on our website and social media channels, with more details including how to book tickets. Tickets will also be available from the bar.

TTTFF20 dates

/in , /by

TTTFF20: our next festival will be in November 2020, dates tbc – again in partnership with the Barn Cinema in Dartington and our own local venue, Totnes Cinema.

Transition Town Totnes Film Festivals show films on a range of important issues – including climate change, food production, declining resources and the value of community. We also address key challenges of our time such as refugees, global exploitation, social exclusion/justice, and women’s empowerment.

We seek to present films which provide hope, inspiration and imaginative solutions whilst not avoiding the stark realities we are currently facing.

Unlike most film festivals we do not just show recent releases but rather present stimulating films which have not been commercially distributed.

Many sessions offer time for discussions, often with the film-makers themselves and relevant speakers. There are also film-making workshops over the weekend for both children and adults.

Totnes hosts the CLEAR WATER ART TRAIL – 29th October to the 19th November.

Be prepared for the unusual when Totnes welcomes the “CLEAR WATER” Art Trail, which includes works made with local artists, schools, the library, and other groups in and around Totnes.

Works will be displayed in numerous shop windows along Fore Street and The High Street as well as Morrison’s and the ReSTORE at Dartington.

CLEAR WATER aims to draw attention in a playful and creative way to the importance of keeping our water crystal clear and clean:  ACTTT  has created this Trail to support the Transition Town Film Festival.

ACTTT – “Clear Water” arts trail Oct 29th – 19th Nov

/in , /by

To accompany this year’s film festival, ACTTT, the TTT Art & Creativity group, has organised a trail of work by local artists in shop windows along the High Street and Fore Street…. CLEAR WATER from 29th Oct to 19th Nov.

ACTTT aims to reach as many different sectors of the local population as possible and the response has been good; local schools involved are KEVICCs, Berry Pomeroy Primary School and Totnes St John’s Primary School, as well as more than a dozen artists, the Library and businesses.

The theme of CLEAR WATER is particularly appropriate as the Festival highlight on Sat Nov 15th is the UK Premiere of SHARKWATER EXTINCTION by ocean conservationist Rob Stewart.

THE HEAT OF THIS

4.16 mins  2018 Dylan Friese-Greene, 20, Kingston University, London
A micro doc observing the morning routine of apprentice baker Oliver Hornsey-Pennell.

“Ollie is a close friend of mine whose quiet determination and attention to detail I have always admired. For a long time I wanted to get up early with him to film his early-morning process; there was something so interesting to me about this secret, almost nocturnal life as a baker. He stood out to me as such a young guy with so many ideas and aspirations for his future, on the cusp of big things. He performs his ritual like a weird well-rehearsed dance, and I’m glad I seized the chance to be there as his audience.”

This film is included in NEXT GENERATION: a series of short films by 16-25yr olds visioning the future.
FREE: Totnes Cinema, Sat 17th November 14.00-16.00
Cafe style – view the films, meet the film-makers and at the same time enjoy barista coffees and home-made cakes!
