Community Partners

At every event, we strive to bridge the powerful personal stories and ideas shared in our films with local environmental context and actionable change.

Our success is rooted in collaboration with leading environmental, arts, and community organisations across the region. These allies bring invaluable expertise and provice audiences with opportunities to make lasting environmental impact.

We collaborate with our Community Partners at the Festival and throughout the year, aiming to bring more environmental films & discussions to wider audiences and promote the ongoing work we are all involved in.

In 2024, visitors connected with campaigns and initiatives from over 20 local partners.

Community-led initiatives include the Eco Fair, Repair Café, and Beach Dook. These will now be regular features, along with a range of free activities for all ages designed to inspire & motivate attendees to take action.
