Film ‘Demain’ (Tomorrow) (2015) at 8pm in the Barn Cinema, Dartington followed by a discussion led by Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Towns movement. Made in response to the threats of climate change, exploring creative solutions in the fields of food, energy, transport, economics and education, this hugely positive and uplifting documentary was inspired by a scientific study in Nature magazine which stated that, at current rates of population expansion, resource consumption and environmental damage, humanity could be facing partial extinction by the end of this century. Filmmakers Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent carried out an investigation to discover what is leading to this potential disaster and, above all, how to avoid it. During their journey through 10 different countries, they meet the pioneers who are reinventing agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. Inspired by these creative and constructive initiatives, which are already working, they explore the possibilities for tomorrow’s world.

The film is being screened to raise funds for the 4th annual Transition Town Totnes Film Festival (13th - 18th November 2018) as it reflects the festival’s themes of climate change, creative solutions, our relationship with the other-than-human world and women’s empowerment.
