August Beneath the Wisteria cancelled, freeing up people to attend Tatura environmental film festival


B

eneath the Wisteria scheduled for this month, Saturday, August 29, has been cancelled.

Those who would have been attending are urged to consider registering to attend “Your Town, Your Food” a day of films and conversations being staged that same day by Tatura Transition Towns.

Along with films depicting ideas on how people can add easily, efficiently and effectively to their food supplies, guest speakers, David Holmgren, Su Dennett and Dr Robert Salter will talk about how people do that.

Holmgren worked with Bill Mollison to create Permaculture, a simple but wonderful idea for growing food that has swept the world and Su Dennett, his partner, specialises in localism, while Dr Salter was the key player in the establishment Livewell Yarra, and idea through which people can support each other to live more sustainable lives.

The day of films and conversations starts with registration at 8:45am and then following morning tea, the first film is shown.

The festival, as was last year’s first event, will be held at the Gallery Café in Hogan St and at $35 each includes, beyond morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. The program ends about 4:30pm.

Places for the festival are limited and tickets can be secured by visiting Ticketbooth, or they can be bought on the day, although organizers prefer people to buy in advance.

The event, formally known as “A day of inspiring conversation and films” is a Tatura Transition Town project.

More details are available from Ross Musolino on 0407 845 247 or Mark Banting on 0458 900 256.
