Projecting Change Film Festival 2012 (Apr 17-22, 2012)

Every year, I write about the Projecting Change Film Festival, as I thoroughly believe in its mission and mandate, the organizers are my friends (Lindsay and Brady), but unfortunately this year my schedule is so booked that I did not realize that it was coming up, and thus I did not make myself available to be an expert speaker to host one of the films on time. So, the opening night is tonight, but there are a number of films that you totally should check (I myself want to check them out!). Especially, Pipe Dreams and Miss Representation.

Vancouver’s Projecting Change Film Festival is forum for film and dialogue about social and environmental issues. Our marquee six-day event features inspiring, eye-opening, and often award-winning films from around the globe, each followed by a dynamic speaker and panel discussion. The unique festival format is a platform for audience engagement, with all proceeds donated back to local initiatives.

Founded in 2007 by Brady Dahmer and Lindsay Nahmiache, the festival has proven popular amongst a truly diverse group of innovation-minded people. Co-founder Brady Dahmer attributes this to the festival focus “PCFF is about positive change. Come to our festival hungry for knowledge and we promise you will leave with a head full of inspiration.” Inspiration no doubt in part due to the participation of such luminaries as Dr. David Suzuki, Captain Paul Watson and Mayor Gregor Robertson – all former festival speakers.

You can buy tickets here including tickets to the Opening Gala (tonight) and closing gala (April 22nd).
