Arcadia International Environmental Film Festival

I plan on launching the Arcadia International Environmental Film Festival mid 2012 simultaneously in over 25 major cites worldwide. We plan on screening at least 15 movies, with additional short documentaries. The focus of the festival will be on environmental protection, food security, social inequalities, climate change, pollution and activism. The aim is to enlighten and empower individuals and communities globally to take actions, together, to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Please watch the short video in the Gallery (right hand side) to get a better idea of my big plan. To put this immensely important project together requires working together on this shared vision with all concerned, from responsible businesses to environmental organizations, right up to individual commitments. This is why I have also already launched an initial fundraising: http://www.pozible.com.au/index.php/archive/index/4616/description/0/0

My Big reasons are:

First and foremost, I want to inspire people from all horizons, backgrounds, cultures and social levels to connect deeper with our beautiful planet, and to each other, as one when it comes to the serious and catastrophic environmental issues we are facing. Secondly, Arcadia will work hand-in-hand with leading environmental organizations worldwide by providing an opportunity for these organizations to receive a substantial part of the funds generated from film ticket sales. In buying their tickets to see films, moviegoers from all around the world will be supporting the great work of these partnering organizations. Arcadia believes in working together for this shared vision. Arcadia will act as a global fundraiser for these organizations.

My plan will be a success when:

I finally sit down the first night of the Festival after making the opening speech, presenting on the big screen the list of participating countries and the full list of films and documentaries. Since I am not an experienced public speaker, and on the top of that have a strong French accent, this will be a very challenging moment, yet memorable I am sure!
