Changing Climate Changing Lives (CCCL) Film Festival is organizing the 3rd annual CCCL Film Festival on February 18-19, 2023 at the Alliance Française, Bangkok.
This year’s film festival spotlights 38 groundbreaking films about climate change selected from 11 countries. Of the 38 titles, 21 short films are from Thailand, 16 films represent Asian countries with 1 feature film. The lineup includes the 95th Academy Award® nominated short film Haulout (2022) directed by Maxim Chakilev and Evgenia Arbugaeva, Watch the Fire or Burn Inside It (2022) directed by Janathan Vinel and Caroline Poggi, and a feature documentary The Magnitude of All Things (2020) directed by Jennifer Abbott.
In addition to the film screening, all attendees will be able to experience the art exhibition showcasing artworks from emerging young artists from different regions of Thailand and a panel discussion on climate storying combining young artists, professional artists, climate advocacy organizations and climate experts.
The Chindwin River, the biggest tributary of the Ayeyarwady River, is crucial to the lives and livelihoods of about six million people who depend on the Chindwin’s ecosystems for fuel, food, and medicinal plants and the rhythms of the river’s seasonal floods for fishing and riverbank gardens. Along with a changing climate, economic development such as mining has resulted in environmental degradation. Filmed for over 2 years during 2018-2020, this film gives the perspectives of the people living in the basin who talk about the changes to their lives and livelihoods.
Saturday, February 18th, 11:00 AM (Please check in at the box office at least 10 minutes prior to showtime). In-person Q&A in Thai will be held after the screening.
